First observation of turbulence-like state in dense algal suspensions
Prince Vibek Baruah, Nadia Bihari Padhan, Biswajit Maji +2
Active turbulence arises typically in systems ranging from microorganisms and biopolymers to synthetic colloids, where chaotic flows are closely associated with motile topological…
Non-reciprocal Binary-fluid Turbulence
Biswajit Maji, Nadia Bihari Padhan, Axel Voigt +1
Although effective non-reciprocal interactions have been investigated in a variety of fields, their consequences have not been explored in hydrodynamical turbulence. We initiate su…
The global attractor of the Toner-Tu-Swift-Hohenberg equations of active turbulence and its properties
Daniel W. Boutros, Kolluru Venkata Kiran, John D. Gibbon +1
The Toner-Tu-Swift-Hohenberg (TTSH) equations are one of the basic equations that are used to model turbulent behaviour in active matter, specifically the swarming of bacteria in s…
Vortex triplets, symmetry breaking, and emergent nonequilibrium plastic crystals in an active-spinner fluid
Biswajit Maji, Nadia Bihari Padhan, Rahul Pandit
The formation of patterns and exotic nonequilibrium steady states in active-fluid systems continues to pose challenging problems -- theoretical, numerical, and experimental -- for…
Interface-induced turbulence in viscous binary fluid mixtures
Nadia Bihari Padhan, Dario Vincenzi, Rahul Pandit
We demonstrate the existence of interface-induced turbulence, an emergent nonequilibrium statistically steady state (NESS) with spatiotemporal chaos, which is induced by interfacia…
Uncovering the Varieties of Three-dimensional Hall-MHD Turbulence
Pratik Patel, Sharad K Yadav, Hideaki Miura +1
We carry out extensive pseudospectral direct numerical simulations (DNSs) of decaying three-dimensional (3D) Hall magnetohydrodynamics (3D HMHD) plasma turbulence at three magnetic…
