Non-equilibrium geometric forces steer spiral waves on folded surfaces
Varun Venkatesh, Farzan Vafa, Martin Cramer Pedersen +1
Spiral waves are ubiquitous signatures of non equilibrium dynamics, appearing across chemical, biological, and active systems. Yet, in many living systems these waves unfold on cur…
Flow Coupling Alters Topological Phase Transition in Nematic Liquid Crystals
Jayeeta Chattopadhyay, Simon Guldager Andersen, Kristian Thijssen +1
We investigate how coupling to fluid flow influences defect-mediated transitions in two-dimensional passive nematic fluids using fluctuating nematohydrodynamic simulations. The sys…
Phase diagram, confining strings, and a new universality class in nematopolar matter
Farzan Vafa, Amin Doostmohammadi
We study a minimal model of a system with coexisting nematic and polar orientational orders, where one field tends to order and the other prefers isotropy. For strong coupling, the…
