| contents | We calculate the effective forces on hard disks near walls embedded inside active nematic liquid crystals. When the disks are sufficiently close to the wall and the flows are sufficiently slow, we can obtain exact expressions for the effective forces. We find these forces and the dynamics of disks near the wall depend both on the properties of the active nematic and on the anchoring conditions on the disks and the wall. Our results show that the presence of active stresses attract planar anchored disks to walls if the activity is extensile, and repel them if contractile. For normal anchored disks the reverse is true; they are attracted in contractile systems, and repelled in extensile ones. |
