摘要
Nonequilibrium Langmuir monolayers including a fraction of chiral molecules and subject to transmembrane flow are considered. The flow induces coherent collective precession of chiral molecules. Our theoretical study shows that splay interactions in this system lead to spatial redistribution of chiral molecules and formation of spiral waves and target patterns observed in experiments.
