Bulk rheology and microrheology of active fluids
G. Foffano, J. S. Lintuvuori, A. N. Morozov +3
We simulate macroscopic shear experiments in active nematics and compare them with microrheology simulations where a spherical probe particle is dragged through an active fluid. In…
Colloids in active fluids: Anomalous micro-rheology and negative drag
G. Foffano, J. S. Lintuvuori, K. Stratford +2
We simulate an experiment in which a colloidal probe is pulled through an active nematic fluid. We find that the drag on the particle is non-Stokesian (not proportional to its radi…
Self-Assembly and Nonlinear Dynamics of Dimeric Colloidal Rotors in Cholesterics
J. S. Lintuvuori, K. Stratford, M. E. Cates +1
We study by simulation the physics of two colloidal particles in a cholesteric liquid crystal with tangential order parameter alignment at the particle surface. The effective force…
