A Machine Learning Approach to Robustly Determine Director Fields and Analyze Defects in Active Nematics
Yunrui Li, Zahra Zarei, Phu N. Tran +5
Active nematics are dense systems of rodlike particles that consume energy to drive motion at the level of the individual particles. They exist in natural systems like biological t…
Flow states of two dimensional active gels driven by external shear
Wan Luo, Aparna Baskaran, Robert A. Pelcovits +1
Using a minimal hydrodynamic model, we theoretically and computationally study active gels in straight and annular two-dimensional channels subject to an externally imposed shear.…
From Disks to Channels: Dynamics of Active Nematics Confined to an Annulus
Chaitanya Joshi, Zahra Zarei, Michael M. Norton +3
Confinement can be used to systematically tame turbulent dynamics occurring in active fluids. Although periodic channels are the simplest geometries to study confinement numericall…
Design principles for transporting vesicles with enclosed active particles
Sarvesh Uplap, Michael F. Hagan, Aparna Baskaran
We use coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations to study the motility of a 2D vesicle containing self-propelled rods, as a function of the vesicle bending rigidity and the num…
