Lattice Boltzmann modeling of cholesteric liquid crystal droplets under an oscillatory electric field
F. Fadda, A. Lamura, A. Tiribocchi
We numerically study the dynamics of quasi-two dimensional cholesteric liquid crystal droplets in the presence of a time-dependent electric field, rotating at constant angular velo…
Dynamical steady-states of active colloids interacting via chemical fields
Federico Fadda, D. A. Matoz-Fernandez, René van Roij +1
We study the dynamical steady-states of a monolayer of chemically active self-phoretic colloids as a function of packing fraction and self-propulsion speed by means of Brownian dyn…
Dynamics of a chiral swimmer sedimenting on a flat plate
Federico Fadda, John Jairo Molina, Ryoichi Yamamoto
Three-dimensional simulations with fully resolved hydrodynamics are performed to study the dynamics of a single squirmer under gravity, in order to clarify its motion in the vicini…
Rheology of an inverted cholesteric droplet under shear flow
Federico Fadda, Giuseppe Gonnella, Antonio Lamura +2
The dynamics of a quasi two-dimensional isotropic droplet in a cholesteric liquid crystal medium under symmetric shear flow is studied by lattice Boltzmann simulations. We consider…
Lattice Boltzmann study of chemically-driven self-propelled droplets
F. Fadda, G. Gonnella, A. Lamura +1
We numerically study the behavior of self-propelled liquid droplets whose motion is triggered by a Marangoni-like flow. This latter is generated by variations of surfactant concent…
Switching dynamics in cholesteric liquid crystal emulsions
Federico Fadda, Giuseppe Gonnella, Davide Marenduzzo +2
In this work we numerically study the switching dynamics of a 2D cholesteric emulsion droplet immersed in an isotropic fluid under an electric field, which is either uniform or rot…
