Channel flows of deformable nematics
Ioannis Hadjifrangiskou, Sumesh P. Thampi, Julia M. Yeomans
We describe channel flows in a continuum model of deformable nematic particles. In a simple shear flow, deformability leads to a nonlinear coupling of strain rate and vorticity, an…
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…
Phase Ordering in Binary Mixtures of Active Nematic Fluids
Saraswat Bhattacharyya, Julia M. Yeomans
We use a continuum, two-fluid approach to study a mixture of two active nematic fluids. Even in the absence of thermodynamically-driven ordering, for mixtures of different activiti…
Cell sorting by active forces in a phase-field model of cell monolayers
James N. Graham, Guanming Zhang, Julia M. Yeomans
Cell sorting, the segregation of cells with different properties into distinct domains, is a key phenomenon in biological processes such as embryogenesis. We use a phase-field mode…
Stress-shape misalignment in confluent cell layers
Mehrana R. Nejad, Liam J. Ruske, Molly McCord +4
This study investigates the relationship between cell shape and cell-generated stresses in confluent cell layers. Using simultaneous measurements of cell shape orientation and cell…
Active nematics with deformable particles
Ioannis Hadjifrangiskou, Liam J. Ruske, Julia M. Yeomans
The hydrodynamic theory of active nematics has been often used to describe the spatio-temporal dynamics of cell flows and motile topological defects within soft confluent tissues.…
