Hydrodynamics of Tunable Janus Particles

We use a model recently developed for the many-body hydrodynamics of amphiphilic Janus particles (JPs) under a viscous background flow to investigate distinct particle phases that arise when accounting for asymmetric and polar hydrophobes. We quantify the macroscopic properties of novel JP phases under a linear shear and a Taylor-Green mixing background flow and quantify their macroscopic, complex-fluid behavior. These numerical results provide insight into dynamic control of non-equilibrium active biological systems with similar self-organization.
