Steady-state hydrodynamic instabilities of active liquid crystals: hybrid lattice Boltzmann simulations.
We report hybrid lattice Boltzmann (HLB) simulations of the hydrodynamics of an active nematic liquid crystal sandwiched between confining walls with various anchoring conditions. We confirm the existence of a transition between a passive phase and an active phase, in which there is spontaneous flow...
