Lamellar ordering, droplet formation and phase inversion in exotic active emulsions

We study numerically the behaviour of a two-dimensional mixture of a passive isotropic fluid and an active polar gel, in the presence of a surfactant favouring emulsification. Focussing on parameters for which the underlying free energy favours the lamellar phase in the passive limit, we show that t...
