Phase separation driven by active flows
We extend the continuum theories of active nematohydrodynamics to model a two-fluid mixture with separate velocity fields for each fluid component, coupled through a viscous drag. The model is used to study an active nematic fluid mixed with an isotropic fluid. We find microphase separation, and arg...
