We review the state of the art of active fluids with particular attention to hydrodynamic
continuous models and to the use of Lattice Boltzmann Methods (LBM) in this field. We …

Dense, active systems show active turbulence, a state characterised by flow fields that are
chaotic, with continually changing velocity jets and swirls. Here we review our current …

The flow properties of a continuum model for an active nematic are studied and compared
with recent experiments on suspensions of microtubule bundles and molecular motors. The …

We describe a numerical investigation of a continuum model of an active nematic,
concentrating on the regime of active turbulence. Results are presented for the effect of three …

Active processes drive biological dynamics across various scales and include subcellular
cytoskeletal remodelling, tissue development in embryogenesis and the population-level …

We use numerical modeling to study the flow patterns of an active nematic confined in a
cylindrical capillary, considering both planar and homeotropic boundary conditions. We find …

We study the phase behavior of a quasi-two-dimensional cholesteric liquid crystal shell. We
characterize the topological phases arising close to the isotropic-cholesteric transition and …

We present results for structure and dynamics of mixtures of active and passive particles,
from molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and integral equation theory (IET) calculations …

Understanding the emergent nonequilibrium dynamics of collective units is crucial for
steering and engineering active many-body systems. Here, we explore flow transitions and …

We numerically study by lattice Boltzmann simulations the rheological properties of an active
emulsion made of a suspension of an active polar gel embedded in an isotropic passive …
