  • Contractile and chiral activities codetermine the helicity of swimming droplet trajectories 

    Tjhung, Elsen; Cates, Michael Elmhirst; Marenduzzo, D (National Academy of SciencesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2017-05-02)
    Active fluids are a class of nonequilibrium systems where energy is injected into the system continuously by the constituent particles themselves. Many examples, such as bacterial suspensions and actomyosin networks, are ...

  • Theories of binary fluid mixtures: from phase-separation kinetics to active emulsions 

    Cates, Michael Elmhirst; Tjhung, Elsen (Cambridge University PressJournal of Fluid Mechanics, 2017-12-18)
    Binary fluid mixtures are examples of complex fluids whose microstructure and flow are strongly coupled. For pairs of simple fluids, the microstructure consists of droplets or bicontinuous demixed domains and the physics ...
