Hydrodynamic instabilities and collective dynamics in activity-balanced pusher-puller mixtures
Bryce Palmer, Wen Yan, Tong Gao
Microorganisms living in microfluidic environments often form multi-species swarms, where they can leverage collective motions to achieve enhanced transport and spreading. Neverthe…
Analytical structure, dynamics, and coarse-graining of a kinetic model of an active fluid
Tong Gao, Meredith D. Betterton, An-Sheng Jhang +1
We analyze one of the simplest active suspensions with complex dynamics: a suspension of immotile "Extensor" particles that exert active extensile dipolar stresses on the fluid in…
Multiscale modeling and simulation of microtubule/motor protein assemblies
Tong Gao, Robert Blackwell, Matthew A. Glaser +2
Microtubules and motor proteins self organize into biologically important assemblies including the mitotic spindle and the centrosomal microtubule array. Outside of cells, microtub…
Multiscale polar theory of microtubule and motor-protein assemblies
Tong Gao, Robert Blackwell, Matthew A. Glaser +2
Microtubules and motor proteins are building blocks of self-organized subcellular biological structures such as the mitotic spindle and the centrosomal microtubule array. These sam…
