Hydrodynamic instabilities and collective dynamics in activity-balanced pusher-puller mixtures
Bryce Palmer, Wen Yan, Tong Gao
Microorganisms living in microfluidic environments often form multi-species swarms, where they can leverage collective motions to achieve enhanced transport and spreading. Neverthe…

Analytical structure, dynamics, and coarse-graining of a kinetic model of an active fluid
Tong Gao, Meredith D. Betterton, An-Sheng Jhang +1
We analyze one of the simplest active suspensions with complex dynamics: a suspension of immotile "Extensor" particles that exert active extensile dipolar stresses on the fluid in…
