Figure 6. Contractile system structure and dynamics.

Figure 6

Streamlines (a), defects (cylinders) and director field (b) of contractile system for ζ=−0.007 at steady state. In b, the curve connecting the two defects along the director field is a short arc. The angular distance between these defects is a minimum. Activity dependence of the minimum angular distance (αij)min (c) and free energy FF0 at steady state (d).
