Hydrodynamic Instabilities Provide A Generic Route To Spontaneous Biomimetic Oscillations In Chemomechanically Active Filaments
Abhrajit Laskar, Rajeev Singh, Somdeb Ghose +3
Non-equilibrium processes which convert chemical energy into mechanical motion enable the motility of organisms. Bundles of inextensible filaments driven by energy transduction of…
Autonomous Motility of Active Filaments due to Spontaneous Flow-Symmetry Breaking
Gayathri Jayaraman, Sanoop Ramachandran, Somdeb Ghose +4
We simulate the nonlocal Stokesian hydrodynamics of an elastic filament which is active due a permanent distribution of stresslets along its contour. A bending instability of an in…
Role of disclinations in determining the morphology of deformable fluid interfaces
N. Ramakrishnan, John H. Ipsen, P. B. Sunil Kumar
We study the equilibrium shapes of vesicles, with an in-plane nematic order, using a Monte-Carlo scheme and show that highly curved shapes, like tubes and discs, with a striking si…
