Self-organization and cyclic positioning of active condensates
Hossein Vahid, Jens-Uwe Sommer, Abhinav Sharma
Cohesive active assemblies are often regulated by spatially heterogeneous nonequilibrium driving, such as gradients in motility, biochemical turnover, or mechanical activity. Such…
Routes to the density profile and structural inconsistency
S. M. Tschopp, H. Vahid, J. M. Brader
Classical density functional theory (DFT) is the primary method for investigations of inhomogeneous fluids in external fields. It requires the excess Helmholtz free energy function…
Collective Dynamics in Active Polar Polymer Assemblies
Hossein Vahid, Jens-Uwe Sommer, Abhinav Sharma
Tangentially driven active polymers (TDAPs), model systems for motor-driven filaments, have been extensively studied in uniform activity fields. Here, we show that an activity grad…
Combining integral equation closures with force density functional theory for the study of inhomogeneous fluids
S. M. Tschopp, H. Vahid, A. Sharma +1
Classical density functional theory (DFT) is a powerful framework to study inhomogeneous fluids. Its standard form is based on the knowledge of a generating free energy functional.…
