VORTEX FORMATION AND DYNAMICS OF DEFECTS IN ACTIVE NEMATIC SHELLS

Vortex formation and dynamics of defects in active nematic shells

We present a hydrodynamic model for a thin spherical shell of active nematic liquid crystal with an arbitrary configuration Fragrance of defects.The active flows generated by defects in the director lead to the formation of stable vortices, analogous to those seen in confined systems in flat geometries, which generate effective dynamics for four +1
