Correlations, mean-field limits, and transition to the concentrated regime in motile particle suspensions

Bryce Palmer, Scott Weady, Michael O'Brien +2

Suspensions of swimming particles exhibit complex collective behaviors driven by hydrodynamic interactions, showing persistent large-scale flows and long-range correlations. While…

Mechanics and morphology of proliferating cell collectives with self-inhibiting growth

Scott Weady, Bryce Palmer, Adam Lamson +3

We study the dynamics of proliferating cell collectives whose microscopic constituents' growth is inhibited by macroscopic growth-induced stress. Discrete particle simulations of a…

Variational bounds and nonlinear stability of an active nematic suspension

Scott Weady

We use the entropy method to analyze the nonlinear dynamics and stability of a continuum kinetic model of an active nematic suspension. From the time evolution of the relative entr…

Conformations, correlations, and instabilities of a flexible fiber in an active fluid

Scott Weady, David B. Stein, Alexandra Zidovska +1

Fluid-structure interactions between active and passive components are important for many biological systems to function. A particular example is chromatin in the cell nucleus, whe…

Learning fast, accurate, and stable closures of a kinetic theory of an active fluid

Suryanarayana Maddu, Scott Weady, Michael J. Shelley

Important classes of active matter systems can be modeled using kinetic theories. However, kinetic theories can be high dimensional and challenging to simulate. Reduced-order repre…

Thermodynamically consistent coarse-graining of polar active fluids

Scott Weady, David B. Stein, Michael J. Shelley

We introduce a closure model for coarse-grained kinetic theories of polar active fluids. Based on a quasi-equilibrium approximation of the particle distribution function, the model…

A fast Chebyshev method for the Bingham closure with application to active nematic suspensions

Scott Weady, Michael J. Shelley, David B. Stein

Continuum kinetic theories provide an important tool for the analysis and simulation of particle suspensions. When those particles are anisotropic, the addition of a particle orien…
