Controlling Turbulent Flows in Compressible Active Liquid Crystals
Dimitrios Krommydas, Paarth Gulati, Aparna Baskaran +1
Motivated by experiments on light-patterned, quasi-2D active suspensions that exhibit large density variations, we develop a continuum theory of compressible active nematics--suspe…
Bicontinuity in active phase separation
Paarth Gulati, Liang Zhao, Michio Tateno +3
We study phase separation between coexisting active and passive fluids in three-dimensions, using numerical simulation and experiments. Chaotic flows of the active phase drive gian…
Asymmetric fluctuations and self-folding of active interfaces
Liang Zhao, Paarth Gulati, Fernando Caballero +4
We study the structure and dynamics of the interface separating a passive fluid from a microtubule-based active fluid. Turbulent-like active flows power giant interfacial fluctuati…
Traveling waves at the surface of active liquid crystals
Paarth Gulati, Fernando Caballero, Itamar Kolvin +2
Active liquid crystals exert nonequilibrium stresses on their surroundings through constant consumption of energy, giving rise to dynamical steady states not present in equilibrium…
Design rules for controlling active topological defects
Suraj Shankar, Luca V. D. Scharrer, Mark J. Bowick +1
Topological defects play a central role in the physics of many materials, including magnets, superconductors and liquid crystals. In active fluids, defects become autonomous partic…
