Hydrodynamic Instabilities in Confined 3D Active Fluids
ORAL
Abstract
Through stability analysis of a 3D active fluid, I will elucidate the origins of three of the most spectacular phenomena seen in experimental systems- spontaneous coherent flows, growth of finite wavelength bend deformations, and nucleation of topologically neutral disclination loops.
