Fast, scalable, and interactive software for Landau-de Gennes numerical modeling of nematic topological defects
Daniel M. Sussman, Daniel A. Beller
Numerical modeling of nematic liquid crystals using the tensorial Landau-de Gennes (LdG) theory provides detailed insights into the structure and energetics of the enormous variety…
Topological structure and dynamics of three dimensional active nematics
Guillaume Duclos, Raymond Adkins, Debarghya Banerjee +13
Point-like motile topological defects control the universal dynamics of diverse two-dimensional active nematics ranging from shaken granular rods to cellular monolayers. A comparab…
Topological defects and geometric memory across the nematic-smectic A liquid crystal phase transition
Ahram Suh, Min-Jun Gim, Daniel Beller +1
We study transformations of self-organized defect arrays at the nematic-smectic A liquid crystal phase transition, and show that these defect configurations are correlated, or "rem…
Evolution in range expansions with competition at rough boundaries
Sherry Chu, Mehran Kardar, David R. Nelson +1
When a biological population expands into new territory, genetic drift develops an enormous influence on evolution at the propagating front. In such range expansion processes, fluc…
Elastocapillary driven assembly of particles at free-standing smectic-A films
Mohamed Amine Gharbi, Daniel A. Beller, Nima Sharifi-Mood +4
Colloidal particles at complex fluid interfaces and within films assemble to form ordered structures with high degrees of symmetry via interactions that include capillarity, elasti…
