Active nematics in corrugated channels
Jaideep P. Vaidya, Tyler N. Shendruk, Sumesh P. Thampi
Active nematic fluids exhibit complex dynamics in both bulk and in simple confining geometries. However, complex confining geometries could have substantial impact on active sponta…
Viscoelastic Effects on the Hydrodynamics of an Active Compound Particle
KVS Chaithanya, Sumesh P. Thampi
Understanding the hydrodynamics of microswimmers in viscoelastic fluids and confined environments is crucial for interpreting their behaviour in natural settings and designing synt…
Transport of topological defects in a biphasic mixture of active and passive nematic fluids
KVS Chaithanya, Aleksandra Ardaševa, Oliver J. Meacock +3
Collectively moving cellular systems often contain a proportion of dead cells or non-motile genotypes. When mixed, nematically aligning motile and non-motile agents are known to se…
Simulating dynamics of ellipsoidal particles using lattice Boltzmann method
Sumesh P Thampi, Kevin Stratford, Oliver Henrich
Anisotropic particles are often encountered in different fields of soft matter and complex fluids. In this work, we present an implementation of the coupled hydrodynamics of solid…
