Correlations, mean-field limits, and transition to the concentrated regime in motile particle suspensions
Bryce Palmer, Scott Weady, Michael O'Brien +2
Suspensions of swimming particles exhibit complex collective behaviors driven by hydrodynamic interactions, showing persistent large-scale flows and long-range correlations. While…
