Biphasic, Lyotropic, Active Nematics
Matthew L. Blow, Sumesh P. Thampi, Julia M. Yeomans
We perform dynamical simulations of a two-dimensional active nematic fluid in coexistence with an isotropic fluid. Drops of active nematic become elongated, and an effective anchor…
Active nematic materials with substrate friction
Sumesh P. Thampi, Ramin Golestanian, Julia M. Yeomans
Active turbulence in dense active systems is characterized by high vorticity on a length scale that is large compared to that of individual entities. We describe the properties of…
Vorticity, Defects and Correlations in Active Turbulence
Sumesh P. Thampi, Ramin Golestanian, Julia M. Yeomans
We describe a numerical investigation of a continuum model of an active nematic, concentrating on the regime of active turbulence. Results are presented for the effect of three par…
