The role of fluid flow in the dynamics of active nematic defects
We adapt the Halperin–Mazenko formalism to analyze two-dimensional active nematics coupled to a generic fluid flow. The governing hydrodynamic equations lead to evolution laws for nematic topological defects and their corresponding density fields. We find that ±1/2 defects are propelled by the local...
