Proceedings ArticleDOI
Blue phases as templates for 3D colloidal photonic crystals
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the possibilities to use the intrinsic 3D defect networks in blue phases I and II as arrays of trapping sites for colloidal particles, and they first described the trapping mechanism on the case of a single discilination line.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flow transitions and length scales of a channel-confined active nematic.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed lattice Boltzmann simulations of an active nematic fluid confined in a two-dimensional channel to study the range of flow states that are stabilised by the confinement: unidirectional flow, oscillatory flow, the dancing state, localised active turbulence and fully developed active turbulence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dumb-bell swimmers
G. P. Alexander,Julia M. Yeomans +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the way in which oscillating dumb-bells, a simple microscopic model of apolar swimmers, move at low Reynold's number.

The Hydrodynamics of Active Systems
TL;DR: In this article, a series of four lectures presented at the 2015 Enrico Fermi summer school in Varenna has been presented to give an introduction to the hydrodynamics of active matter concentrating on low Reynolds number examples such as cells and molecular motors.

Large scale ordering of active defects
TL;DR: In this article, the authors use continuum simulations to study the impact of friction on the ordering of defects in an active nematic and find that + 1/2 defects tend to align side-by-side and orient antiparallel reflecting their propensity to form, and circulate with, flow vortices.
