Hydrodynamic theory of tissue shear flow
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a hydrodynamic theory to describe shear flows in developing epithelial tissues. We introduce hydrodynamic fields corresponding to state properties of constituent cells as well as a contribution to overall tissue shear flow due to rearrangements in cell network topology. We then construct a constitutive equation for the shear rate due to topological rearrangements. We identify a novel rheological behaviour resulting from memory effects in the tissue. We show that anisotropic deformation of tissue and cells can arise from two distinct active cellular processes: generation of active stress in the tissue, and actively driven cellular rearrangements. These two active processes result in distinct cellular and tissue shape changes, depending on boundary conditions applied on the tissue. Our findings have consequences for the understanding of tissue morphogenesis during development.

Measurement of shear viscosity in lattice gauge theory without Kubo formula
A method to measure the transport coefficients on the lattice is proposed. We introduce a spatiallyinhomogeneous momentum source to the Hamiltonian in order to generate a non-equilibrium but steady hydrodynamic flow. Once such hydrodynamic flow is created with appropriate spatial geometries, the transport coefficients are determined from expectation values of the energymomentum tensor. A Monte ...
متن کاملTwo-Aperture Microfluidic Probes as Flow Dipole: Theory and Applications
A microfluidic probe (MFP) is a mobile channel-less microfluidic system under which a fluid is injected from an aperture into an open space, hydrodynamically confined by a surrounding fluid, and entirely re-aspirated into a second aperture. Various MFPs have been developed, and have been used for applications ranging from surface patterning of photoresists to local perfusion of organotypic tiss...
متن کاملHydrodynamic and Contact Contributions to Continuous Shear Thickening in Colloidal Suspensions.
Shear thickening is a widespread phenomenon in suspension flow that, despite sustained study, is still the subject of much debate. The longstanding view that shear thickening is due to hydrodynamic clusters has been challenged by recent theory and simulations suggesting that contact forces dominate, not only in discontinuous, but also in continuous shear thickening. Here, we settle this dispute...
متن کاملDynamical coarse-graining of highly fluctuating membranes under shear flow.
The effect of strong shear flow on highly fluctuating lamellar systems stabilized by intermembrane collisions via the Helfrich interaction is studied. Advection enters the microscopic equation of motion for a single membrane via a nonlinear coupling. Upon coarse-graining the theory for a single bilayer up to the length scale of the collision length, at which a hydrodynamic description applies, ...
متن کاملRepository Hydrodynamic permeability of aggregates of porous particles with an impermeable core
A hydrodynamic permeability of membranes built up by porous cylindrical or spherical particles with impermeable core is investigated. Different versions of a cell method are used to calculate the hydrodynamic permeability of the membranes. Four known boundary conditions, namely, Happel’s, Kuwabara’s, Kvashnin’s and Cunningham/Mehta-Morse’s, are considered on the outer surface of the cell. Compa...
