Three-dimensional spontaneous flow transition in a homeotropic active nematic

Abstract Active nematics are driven, non-equilibrium systems relevant to biological processes including tissue mechanics and morphogenesis, and to active metamaterials in general. We study the three-dimensional spontaneous flow transition of an active nematic in an infinite slab geometry using a com...
