Breakup of an active chiral fluid
Luke Neville, Jens Eggers, Tanniemola B. Liverpool
The nonlinear breakup dynamics of a strip of active chiral fluid is considered, and it is shown that the strip thickness goes to zero as a power law in finite time. Applying slende…
Stokes flow around two unequal cylinders: A complex variable approach
Luke Neville
We solve the Stokes equations for the flow around two parallel translating and rotating cylinders using tools from complex analysis and conformal mapping. By considering cylinders…
Hydrodynamic equations and near critical large deviations of active lattice gases
Luke Neville
Using a path integral approach, we derive and study the hydrodynamic equations and large deviation functions for three active lattice gases. After a review of the path integral for…
Controlling wall particle interactions with activity
Luke Neville, Jens Eggers, Tanniemola Liverpool
We calculate the effective forces on hard disks near walls embedded inside active nematic liquid crystals. When the disks are sufficiently close to the wall and the flows are suffi…
