Phase behaviour and dynamics of three-dimensional active dumbbell systems

CB Caporusso, G Negro, A Suma, P Digregorio… - Soft Matter, 2024 - pubs.rsc.org
We present a comprehensive numerical study of the phase behavior and dynamics of a
three-dimensional active dumbbell system with attractive interactions. We demonstrate that …

Rheology of active polar emulsions: from linear to unidirectional and inviscid flow, and intermittent viscosity

G Negro, LN Carenza, A Lamura, A Tiribocchi… - Soft Matter, 2019 - pubs.rsc.org
The rheological behaviour of an emulsion made of an active polar component and an
isotropic passive fluid is studied by lattice Boltzmann methods. Different flow regimes are …

Chaotic and periodical dynamics of active chiral droplets

LN Carenza, G Gonnella, D Marenduzzo… - Physica A: Statistical …, 2020 - Elsevier
The interplay between the chirality of many biological molecules and the energy injected at
small length-scales as the result of biological processes is at the base of the life of the cells …

Fluctuation Theorems for Heat Exchanges between Passive and Active Baths

M Semeraro, A Suma, G Negro - Entropy, 2024 - mdpi.com
In addition to providing general constraints on probability distributions, fluctuation theorems
allow us to infer essential information on the role played by temperature in heat exchange …

Rheology of active emulsions with negative effective viscosity

I Favuzzi, LN Carenza, F Corberi, G Gonnella… - Soft …, 2021 - Taylor & Francis
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 …
