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…

Lattice Boltzmann simulations of liquid crystalline fluids: active gels and blue phases
M. E. Cates, O. Henrich, D. Marenduzzo +1
Lattice Boltzmann simulations have become a method of choice to solve the hydrodynamic equations of motion of a number of complex fluids. Here we review some recent applications of…
