Using Curved Fluid Boundaries to Confine Active Nematic Flows
Actively driven, bundled microtubule networks, powered by molecular motors have become a useful framework in which to study the dynamics of energy-driven defects, but achieving control of defect motions is still a challenging problem. In this paper, we present a method to confine active nematic flui...
