Defects in active nematics - algorithms for identification and tracking
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: The growing interest in active nematics and the emerging evidence of the relevance of topological defects in biology asks for reliable data analysis tools to identify, classify and track such defects in simulation and microscopy data. We here provide such tools and demonstrate on two examples, on an active turbulent state in an active nematodynamic model and on emerging nematic order in a multi-phase field model, the possibility to compare statistical data on defect velocities with experimental results. The considered tools, which are physics based and data driven, are compared with each other.
