Nonlinear Wave Propagation in 1D Polycatenated Ring Chains
Xiaoxiao Xiong, Reo Yanagi, Tingtao Zhou +1
We study the nonlinear wave dynamics of one-dimensional chains of polycatenated rings. These interlocked structures support amplitude-dependent nonlinear wave propagation driven by…
Reviving the Suspension Balance Model
Mu Wang, Tingtao Zhou, John F. Brady
The Suspension Balance Model (SBM) [J. Fluid Mech. \textbf{275}, 157 (1994)] for two-phase flows uses the momentum balance of the particle phase as a closure for the particle flux,…
Hydrodynamic interactions destroy motility-induced phase separation in active suspensions
Tingtao Zhou, John F. Brady
Motility-Induced Phase Separation (MIPS) is a distinctive phenomenon in active matter that arises from its inherent non-equilibrium nature. Despite recent progress in understanding…
Active doping controls the mode of failure in dense colloidal gels
Tingtao Zhou, John F. Brady
Mechanical properties of disordered materials are governed by their underlying free energy landscape. In contrast to external fields, embedding a small fraction of active particles…
Image charge effects under metal and dieletric boundary conditions
Tingtao Zhou, Dorian Bruch, Zhen-Gang Wang
Image charge effect is a fundamental problem in electrostatics. However, a proper treatment at the continuum level for many-ion systems, such as electrolyte solutions or ionic liqu…
