Active turbulence and spontaneous phase separation in inhomogeneous extensile active gels

Renato Assante, Dom Corbett, Davide Marenduzzo +1

We report numerical results for the hydrodynamics of inhomogeneous lyotropic and extensile active nematic gels. By simulating the coupled Cahn-Hilliard, Navier-Stokes, and Beris-Ed…
