Wound opening in a thin incompressible viscoelastic tissue
G. M. Carvalho, N. A. M. Araújo, P. Patrício
We develop a model to investigate analytically and numerically the mechanics of wound opening made in a viscoelastic, isotropic, homogeneous, and incompressive thin tissue. This pr…
Effect of particle deformability on shear thinning in a 3D channel
Danilo P. F. Silva, Rodrigo C. V. Coelho, Margarida M. Telo da Gama +1
Soft particles suspended in fluids flowing through microchannels are often encountered in biological flows such as cells in vessels. They can deform under flow or when subject to m…
Director alignment at the nematic-isotropic interface: elastic anisotropy and active anchoring
Rodrigo C. V. Coelho, Nuno A. M. Araújo, Margarida M. Telo da Gama
Activity in nematics drives interfacial flows that lead to preferential alignment that is tangential or planar for extensile systems (pushers) and perpendicular or homeotropic for…
Lattice-Boltzmann simulation of free nematic-isotropic interfaces
Rodrigo C. V. Coelho, Nuno A. M. Araújo, Margarida M. Telo da Gama
We use a hybrid method of lattice Boltzmann and finite differences to simulate flat and curved interfaces between the nematic and isotropic phases of a liquid crystal described by…
Kinetic roughening of aggregates of patchy colloids with strong and weak bonds
C. S. Dias, N. A. M. Araújo, M. M. Telo da Gama
We study the irreversible aggregation of films of patchy spherical colloids with directional and selective interactions. We report a crossover of the interfacial roughening from th…
Nonequilibrium growth of patchy-colloid networks on substrates
C. S. Dias, N. A. M. Araújo, M. M. Telo da Gama
Patchy colloids with highly directional interactions are ideal building blocks to control the local arrangements resulting from their spontaneous self-organization. Here we propose…
