Chirality and odd mechanics in active columnar phases
S. J. Kole, Gareth P. Alexander, Ananyo Maitra +1
Chiral active materials display odd dynamical effects in both their elastic and viscous responses. We show that the most symmetric mesophase with two-dimensional odd elasticity in…
The Anomalous Long-Ranged Influence of an Inclusion in Momentum-Conserving Active Fluids
Thibaut Arnoulx de Pirey, Yariv Kafri, Sriram Ramaswamy
We show that an inclusion placed inside a dilute Stokesian suspension of microswimmers induces power-law number-density modulations and flows. These take a different form depending…
Inertia drives concentration-wave turbulence in swimmer suspensions
Purnima Jain, Navdeep Rana, Sriram Ramaswamy +1
We discover an instability mechanism in suspensions of self-propelled particles that does not involve active stress. Instead, it is driven by a subtle interplay of inertia, swimmer…
