Passive polymers in active turbulence undergo a collapse-stretch transition
Zahra K. Valei, Davide Marenduzzo, Tyler N. Shendruk
Active processes in living systems generate nonequilibrium forces that deform embedded passive macromolecules. To understand how such dynamics influence polymer conformation, we st…
Scaling laws for passive polymer dynamics in active turbulence
Zahra K. Valei, Tyler N. Shendruk
Biological systems commonly combine intrinsically out-of-equilibrium active components with passive polymeric inclusions to produce unique material properties. To explore these com…
Multi-Particle Collision Framework for Active Polar Fluids
Oleksandr Baziei, BenjamÃn Loewe, Tyler N. Shendruk
Sufficiently dense intrinsically out-of-equilibrium suspensions, such as those observed in biological systems, can be modelled as active fluids characterised by their orientational…
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…
