Paths to caustic formation in turbulent aerosols
Jan Meibohm, Vikash Pandey, Akshay Bhatnagar +4
The dynamics of small, yet heavy, identical particles in turbulence exhibits singularities, called caustics, that lead to large fluctuations in the spatial particle-number density,…
Pattern stabilisation in swarms of programmable active matter: a probe for turbulence at large length scales
Pankaj Popli, Prasad Perlekar, Surajit Sengupta
We propose an algorithm for creating stable, ordered, swarms of active robotic agents arranged in any given pattern. The strategy involves suppressing a class of fluctuations known…
Coarsening in the two-dimensional incompressible Toner-Tu equation: Signatures of turbulence
Navdeep Rana, Prasad Perlekar
We investigate coarsening dynamics in the two-dimensional, incompressible Toner-Tu equation. We show that coarsening proceeds via vortex merger events, and the dynamics crucially d…
