Cellular dynamics emerging from turbulent flows steered by active filaments
Mehrana R. Nejad, Julia M. Yeomans, Sumesh P Thampi
We develop a continuum theory to describe the collective dynamics of deformable epithelial cells, using two tensor order parameters to distinguish the force-generating active filam…
Wall curvature driven dynamics of a microswimmer
Chaithanya K. V. S., Sumesh P. Thampi
Microorganisms navigate through fluid, often confined by complex environments, to survive and sustain life. Inspired by this fact, we consider a model system and seek to understand…
Dilute dispersion of compound particles: deformation dynamics and rheology
Pavan Kumar Singeetham, Chaithanya K. V. S., Sumesh P. Thampi
Compound particles are a class of composite systems in which solid particles encapsulated in a fluid droplet are suspended in another fluid. They are encountered in various natural…
Flow states and transitions of an active nematic in a three dimensional channel
Santhan Chandragiri, Amin Doostmohammadi, Julia M. Yeomans +1
We use active nematohydrodynamics to study the flow of an active fluid in a 3D microchannel, finding a transition between active turbulence and regimes where there is a net flow al…
Activity induced nematic order in isotropic liquid crystals
Sreejith Santhosh, Mehrana R. Nejad, Amin Doostmohammadi +2
We use linear stability analysis to show that an isotropic phase of elongated particles with dipolar flow fields can develop nematic order as a result of their activity. We argue t…
Dynamics and stability of a compound particle -- a theoretical study
Sravana Chaithanya, Sumesh P Thampi
Particles confined in droplets are called compound particles. They are encountered in various biological and soft matter systems. Hydrodynamics can play a decisive role in determin…
