Velocity correlations in an active nematic.
The flow properties of a continuum model for an active nematic are studied and compared with recent experiments on suspensions of microtubule bundles and molecular motors. The velocity correlation length is found to be independent of the strength of the activity while the characteristic velocity scale increases monotonically as the activity is increased, both in agreement with the experimental ...
متن کاملActive temperature and velocity correlations produced by a swimmer suspension.
The agitation produced in a fluid by a suspension of microswimmers in the low Reynolds number limit is studied. In this limit, swimmers are modeled as force dipoles all with equal strength. The agitation is characterized by the active temperature defined, as in kinetic theory, as the mean square velocity, and by the equal-time spatial correlations. Considering the phase in which the swimmers ar...
متن کاملAspects of the density field in an active nematic.
Active nematics are conceptually the simplest orientationally ordered phase of self-driven particles, but have proved to be a perennial source of surprises. We show here through numerical solution of coarse-grained equations for the order parameter and density that the growth of the active nematic phase from the isotropic phase is necessarily accompanied by a clumping of the density. The growth...
متن کاملOptically active additives in twisted nematic devices
2014 A study has been made of the use of optically active additives in twisted nematic devices to remove areas of reverse twist, the results obtained depending on the chirality of the additives and the director alignment on the two containing surfaces. Under certain conditions degeneracy of the field induced reorientation of the director produces a patched appearance even in the absence of reve...
متن کاملVelocity Correlations of Galaxy Clusters
We determine the velocity correlation function, pairwise peculiar velocity di erence, and root-mean-square pairwise peculiar velocity dispersion of rich clusters of galaxies, as a function of pair separation, for three cosmological models: = 1 and = 0:3 CDM, and = 0:3 PBI models (all at and COBEnormalized). We nd that close cluster pairs, with separation r 10h 1Mpc, exhibit strong attractive pe...
