Variational formulation of active nematic fluids: theory and simulation by W Mirza, A Torres-Sánchez, G Vilanova, Marino Arroyo

“…The development of thermodynamically consistent theories and numerical methods to model active nemato-hydrodynamics is eased by mathematical formalisms enabling systematic derivations and structured-preserving algorithms. Alternative to classical nonequilibrium thermodynamics and bracket formalisms, here we develop a theoretical and computational framework for active nematics based on Onsager’s variational formalism to irreversible thermodynamics, according to which the dynamics result from the minimization of a Rayleighian functional capturing the competition between free-energy release, dissipation and activity. …”
