Instabilities and Topological Defects in Active Nematics
Sumesh P. Thampi, Ramin Golestanian, Julia M. Yeomans
We study a continuum model of an extensile active nematic to show that mesoscale turbulence develops in two stages: (i) ordered regions undergo an intrinsic hydrodynamic instabilit…

Velocity Correlations in an Active Nematic
Sumesh P. Thampi, Ramin Golestanian, Julia M. Yeomans
The flow properties of a continuum model for an active nematic is studied and compared with recent experiments on suspensions of microtubule bundles and molecular motors. The veloc…
