Excitable patterns in active nematics.
We analyze a model of mutually propelled filaments suspended in a two-dimensional solvent. The system undergoes a mean-field isotropic-nematic transition for large enough filament concentrations, and the nematic order parameter is allowed to vary in space and time. We show that the interplay between nonuniform nematic order, activity, and flow results in spatially modulated relaxation oscillati...
متن کاملDefect dynamics in active nematics.
Topological defects are distinctive signatures of liquid crystals. They profoundly affect the viscoelastic behaviour of the fluid by constraining the orientational structure in a way that inevitably requires global changes not achievable with any set of local deformations. In active nematic liquid crystals, topological defects not only dictate the global structure of the director, but also act ...
متن کاملInstability modes of high-strength disclinations in nematics.
We solve the complete tensor fluctuation problem of a long and straight nematic disclination line with a general winding number in the one elastic constant approximation. Focusing on the eigenmodes growing in time, we show that the disclination with strength higher than 1/2 is unstable with respect to the splitting and for integer strength also to the escape--in both cases there is no metastabi...
متن کاملWrinkling instability of vesicles in steady linear flow
We present experimental observations and numerical simulations of a wrinkling instability that occurs at sufficiently high strain rates in the trembling regime of vesicle dynamics in steady linear flow. Spectral and statistical analysis of the data shows similarities and differences with the wrinkling instability observed earlier for vesicles in transient elongation flow. The critical relevance...
متن کاملWrinkling Instability of Graphene on Substrate-Supported Nanoparticles
Wrinkles in graphene with desirable morphology have practical significance for electronic applications. Here we carry out a systematic molecular dynamics study of the wrinkling instability of graphene on substrate-supported nanoparticles (NPs). At a large NP dispersion distance, a monolayer graphene adheres to the substrate and bulges out locally to wrap around individual NPs, forming isolated ...
