Abstracts
February 2, Thomas Chandler (UW-Madison): Fluid anisotropy, or direction-dependent response to deformation, can be observed in biofluids like mucus or, at a larger scale, self-aligning swarms of active bacteria. A model fluid used to investigate such environments is a nematic liquid crystal. In this talk, we will use complex variables to analytically solve for the interaction between bodies immersed in liquid crystalline environments. This approach allows for the solution of a wide range of problems, opening the door to studying the role of body geometry, liquid crystal anchoring conditions, and deformability. Shape-dependent forces between bodies, surface tractions, and analogues to classical results in fluid dynamics will also be discussed.
