We examine the scaling with activity of the emergent length scales that control the nonequilibrium dynamics of an active nematic liquid crystal, using two popular hydrodynamic models that have been employed in previous studies. In both models we find... Read More about Correlation lengths in hydrodynamic models of active nematics.

Viscoelastic and elastomeric active matter: Linear instability and nonlinear dynamics (2016)
Journal Article
Hemingway, E., Cates, M., & Fielding, S. (2016). Viscoelastic and elastomeric active matter: Linear instability and nonlinear dynamics. Physical Review E, 93(3), Article 032702. https://doi.org/10.1103/physreve.93.032702

We consider a continuum model of active viscoelastic matter, whereby an active nematic liquid crystal is coupled to a minimal model of polymer dynamics with a viscoelastic relaxation time τC. To explore the resulting interplay between active and poly... Read More about Viscoelastic and elastomeric active matter: Linear instability and nonlinear dynamics.
