Self-organized flows break morphological symmetry in active/passive systems
Rainer Backofen, Axel Voigt
We consider a phase-separating mixture of active and passive fluids and explore morphological asymmetries of the emerging dominantly bicontinous dynamic emulsion. Two-dimensional n…
Nonequilibrium hyperuniform states in active turbulence
Rainer Backofen, Abdelrahman Y. A. Altawil, Marco Salvalaglio +1
We demonstrate that the complex spatiotemporal structure in active fluids can feature characteristics of hyperuniformity. Using a hydrodynamic model, we show that the transition fr…
Derivation of the phase field crystal model for colloidal solidification
Sven van Teeffelen, Rainer Backofen, Axel Voigt +1
The phase-field crystal model is by now widely used in order to predict crystal nucleation and growth. For colloidal solidification with completely overdamped individual particle m…
