TABLE II.
Quantity | Parameter | Value | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
ϕ | MT packing fraction | 0.54 | Chosen to give nematic state at equilibrium in the absence of motors |
r = l/b | MT aspect ratio | 10 | |
c = ρ 2 b 2 e β(μm+u0) | Motor concentration | 1 | Chosen to give average of 2 motors per nearby MT pair |
Range of motor interaction | Chosen to be of order 1 for a short-range interaction | ||
Motor run length | Reference 0.64, range 0.2–12.8 | Motor-induced active stresses are largest when is of order 1. | |
f = fsb/(kBT) | Motor stall force | 6 | |
Pe = vwηb/(kBT) | Peclet number | Reference 0.68, range 0.02–2.7 |
