Hydrodynamic theory of chemically active emulsions
Efe Ilker, Kathrin Laxhuber, Jean-Francois Joanny +1
We present a systematic theory of chemically active emulsions in the hydrodynamic limit by constructing a thermodynamically consistent framework in which the equilibrium is broken…
Phase separation by polar active transport
Sudipta Pattanayak, Alfredo Sciortino, Laurent Blanchoin +2
We propose an active Cahn-Hilliard theory for the dynamics of a new type of phase transition where the driving force is not the direct interactions between the two separating compo…
Statistical physics of active matter, cell division and cell aggregation
Jean-François Joanny, Joseph O. Indekeu
In these Lecture Notes we aim at clarifying how soft matter physics, and herein notably statistical mechanics and fluid mechanics, can be engaged to understand and manipulate non-e…
Dynamical arrest in active nematic turbulence
Ido Lavi, Ricard Alert, Jean-François Joanny +1
Active fluids display spontaneous turbulent-like flows known as active turbulence. Recent work revealed that these flows have universal features, independent of the material proper…
Nonlinear spontaneous flow instability in active nematics
Ido Lavi, Ricard Alert, Jean-François Joanny +1
Active nematics exhibit spontaneous flows through a well-known linear instability of the uniformly-aligned quiescent state. Here we show that even a linearly stable uniform state c…
Environment-stored memory in active nematics and extra-cellular matrix remodeling
Ram M. Adar, Jean-François Joanny
Many active systems display nematic order, while interacting with their environment. In this work, we show theoretically how environment-stored memory acts an effective external fi…
