Creation of an isolated turbulent blob fed by vortex rings
Takumi Matsuzawa, Noah P. Mitchell, Stephane Perrard +1
Turbulence is hard to control. A plethora of experimental methods have been developed to generate this ephemeral state of matter, leading to fundamental insights into its statistic…
Incompressible active phases at an interface. I. Formulation and axisymmetric odd flows
Leroy L. Jia, William T. M. Irvine, Michael J. Shelley
Inspired by the recent realization of a 2D chiral fluid as an active monolayer droplet moving atop a 3D Stokesian fluid, we formulate mathematically its free-boundary dynamics. The…
Motile dislocations knead odd crystals into whorls
Ephraim S. Bililign, Florencio Balboa Usabiaga, Yehuda A. Ganan +6
The competition between thermal fluctuations and potential forces is the foundation of our understanding of phase transitions and matter in equilibrium. Driving matter out of equil…
Origin and localization of topological band gaps in gyroscopic metamaterials
Noah P. Mitchell, Ari M. Turner, William T. M. Irvine
Networks of interacting gyroscopes have proven to be versatile structures for understanding and harnessing finite-frequency topological excitations. Spinning components give rise t…
Statistical mechanics of a chiral active fluid
Ming Han, Michel Fruchart, Colin Scheibner +4
Statistical mechanics provides the foundation for describing complex materials using only a few thermodynamic variables. No such framework currently exists far from equilibrium. In…
Non-Hermitian band topology and skin modes in active elastic media
Colin Scheibner, William T. M. Irvine, Vincenzo Vitelli
Solids built out of active components can exhibit non-reciprocal elastic coefficients that give rise to non-Hermitian wave phenomena. Here, we investigate non-Hermitian effects pre…
