Abstract
Catalytic reactions on flexible sheets generate fluid flows that transform the shape of the sheet, which in turn modifies the flow. These complex interactions make computer models vital for designing and harnessing these feedback loops to create soft active matter that autonomously performs self-sustained mechanical work.
