Ordering and Defect Dynamics in Passive and Active Nematopolars
Fabio Aprile, Massimiliano Semeraro, Giuseppe Gonnella
The coexistence of polar and nematic interactions, observed in a broad range of biological and synthetic active systems, gives rise to a rich phenomenology that continues to challe…
Thinning-by-spinning: shear rheology of dense chiral fluids
Lucio Mauro Carenza, Giuseppe Gonnella, Demian Levis +1
We investigate the linear and nonlinear rheology of dense chiral fluids composed of self-spinning particles under external shear. Using particle-based simulations of a two-dimensio…
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…
Role of mass fluctuations in the diffusion of clusters of Brownian particles with activity
Daniela Moretti, Pasquale Digregorio, Giuseppe Gonnella +1
Motivated by the anomalous diffusion observed in clusters of active Brownian particles (ABPs), where the center-of-mass diffusion coefficient scales as with respec…
Supercoiling DNA with a free end
Daniela Moretti, Giuseppe Gonnella, Antonio Suma +3
In this work, we combine coarse-grained Brownian dynamics simulations and mean-field theory to study supercoiling dynamics, as well as the steady-state profiles of twist and writhe…
