Dynamics, Order And Fluctuations In Active Nematics : Numerical And Theoretical Studies

In this thesis we studied theoretically and numerically dynamics, order and fluctuations in two dimensional active matter with specific reference to the nematic phase in collections of self-driven particles.The aim is to study the ways in which a nonequilibrium steady state with nematic order differ...
