Universal scaling of active nematic turbulence
A landmark of turbulence is the emergence of universal scaling laws, such as Kolmogorov's
E (q)~ q− 5∕ 3 scaling of the kinetic energy spectrum of inertial turbulence with the …

A statistical physics view of swarming bacteria
Bacterial swarming is a collective mode of motion in which cells migrate rapidly over
surfaces, forming dynamic patterns of whirls and jets. This review presents a physical point …

Onset of meso-scale turbulence in active nematics
Meso-scale turbulence is an innate phenomenon, distinct from inertial turbulence, that
spontaneously occurs at low Reynolds number in fluidized biological systems. This …

Anomalous diffusion and Lévy walks distinguish active from inertial turbulence
Bacterial swarms display intriguing dynamical states like active turbulence. Now, using a
hydrodynamic model, we show that such dense active suspensions manifest superdiffusion …

[HTML][HTML] Which interactions dominate in active colloids?
B Liebchen, H Löwen - The Journal of chemical physics, 2019 - pubs.aip.org
Despite mounting evidence that the same gradients, which active colloids use for swimming,
induce important cross-interactions (phoretic interactions), they are still ignored in most …

Organizing bacterial vortex lattices by periodic obstacle arrays
Recent experiments have shown that the complex spatio-temporal vortex structures
emerging in active fluids are susceptible to weak geometrical constraints. This observation …
