Orienting-Field Effects on Instability and Mode Selection in Active Nematics

I. K. Joseph, A. J. H. Houston, K. N. Kowal +1

We examine the instabilities of a confined active nematic subjected to an orienting field using a low Reynolds number Ericksen-Leslie framework with active stresses and field-induc…

Geometry and relaxation dynamics of nematic loops

F. Aprile, A. J. H. Houston, G. Gonnella +3

Disclination lines in three-dimensional nematic liquid crystals generically form closed loops whose topology is classified by homotopy theory. While this classification successfull…
