Exploring regular and turbulent flow states in active nematic channel flow via Exact Coherent Structures and their invariant manifolds
Caleb G. Wagner, Rumayel H. Pallock, Michael M. Norton +2
This work is a unified study of stable and unstable steady states of 2D active nematic channel flow using the framework of Exact Coherent Structures (ECS). ECS are stationary, peri…

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…
