Hydrodynamic Enhancement of $p$-atic Defect Dynamics

Dimitrios Krommydas, Livio Nicola Carenza, Luca Giomi

AI总结:

本文通过数值和解析方法研究了流体动力学对$p-$atic液晶中拓扑缺陷动力学的影响,发现流体动力学为特定绕数缺陷提供了通用的被动自驱动机制,并意外地加速了缺陷对的湮灭且该效应随$p$增大而增强,为理解上皮细胞重塑奠定了基础。

摘要:

我们通过数值和解析方法研究了流体动力学对$p-$atic液晶(即具有$p-$重旋转对称性的二维液晶)中拓扑缺陷动力学的影响。重要的是,我们发现流体动力学为绕数为$s=(p-1)/p$且$p$任意的缺陷提供了一种通用的被动自驱动机制。令人惊讶的是,我们发现流体动力学总是会加速$\pm 1/p$缺陷对的湮灭动力学,并且与预期相反,这种效应随$p$的增加而增强。我们的研究为理解上皮细胞层中的细胞重排及其他重塑事件铺平了道路。

英文摘要:

We investigate numerically and analytically the effects of hydrodynamics on the dynamics of topological defects in $p-$atic liquid crystals, i.e. two-dimensional liquid crystals with $p-$fold rotational symmetry. Importantly, we find that hydrodynamics fuels a generic passive self-propulsion mechanism for defects of winding number $s=(p-1)/p$ and arbitrary $p$. Strikingly, we discover that hydrodynamics always accelerates the annihilation dynamics of pairs of $\pm 1/p$ defects, and that, contrary to expectations, this effect increases with $p$. Our Letter paves the way towards understanding cell intercalation and other remodelling events in epithelial layers.
