Multiscale control of active emulsion dynamics
Livio Nicola Carenza, Luca Biferale, Giuseppe Gonnella
Abstract
The strength of the activity of polar particles is varied in two-dimensional Lattice Boltzmann simulations of a liquid crystal model of active material. The simulations find phase separation and then mixing in the chaotic flow.
