Modeling density variations in two-dimensional microtubule-based active nematics
Kevin A. Mitchell, Sean Ricarte, Md Mainul Hasan Sabbir +2
A dense two-dimensional layer of aligned microtubules (MTs), powered by molecular motors, is a canonical laboratory model of active materials and a synthetic analog of biological s…
Measures of Chaotic Advection in Simulations of Active Nematics
Md Mainul Hasan Sabbir, Brandon Klein, Daniel A. Beller +1
Active nematics are non-equilibrium fluids composed of rod-like self-propelled units that collectively generate large-scale coherent flows. Here, we focus on a canonical experiment…
Topological delocalisation of confined 3D active nematics
Louise C. Head, Pasquale Digregorio, Davide Marenduzzo +3
Defect lines in 3D active nematic systems are intriguing topological singularities whose out-of-equilibrium dynamics remain elusive in confined settings. Here, we numerically study…
Dynamics of individual active elastic filaments with chiral self-propulsion
Chanania Steinbock, Daniel A. Beller
We study the over-damped dynamics of individual one-dimensional elastic filaments subjected to a chiral active force which propels each point of the filament at a fixed angle relat…
Gliding microtubules exhibit tunable collective rotation driven by chiral active forces
Madhuvanthi Guruprasad Athani, Nathan Prouse, Niranjan Sarpangala +11
How chirality propagates across scales remains an open question in many biological and synthetic systems. An especially clear manifestation of this propagation is found in in vitro…
Modeling active nematics via the nematic locking principle
Kevin A. Mitchell, Md Mainul Hasan Sabbir, Sean Ricarte +2
Active nematic systems consist of rod-like internally driven subunits that interact with one another to form large-scale coherent flows. They are important examples of far-from-equ…
