Heterogeneity-Induced Oscillations in Active Nematics
Alexander J. H. Houston, Michael Grinfeld, Geoff McKay +1
One of the defining features of active nematics is that above a critical activity the quiescent state becomes unstable to a distorted, flowing one. We show that spatial variations…

The Role of Elastic Anisotropy in Active Nematics
Alexander J. H. Houston
We analyse the effect of anisotropy in elastic constants on the hydrodynamics of active nematics. Building on the multipole framework for a single elastic constant, we determine th…
