Spontaneous flow states in active nematics: a unified picture
S. A. Edwards, J. M. Yeomans
Continuum hydrodynamic models of active liquid crystals have been used to describe dynamic self-organising systems such as bacterial swarms and cytoskeletal gels. A key prediction…

Shearing active gels close to the isotropic-nematic transition
M. E. Cates, S. M. Fielding, D. Marenduzzo +2
We study numerically the rheological properties of a slab of active gel close o the isotropic-nematic transition. The flow behavior shows strong dependence on sample size, boundary…
