Hydrodynamic length-scale selection in microswimmer suspensions.
A universal characteristic of mesoscale turbulence in active suspensions is the emergence of a typical vortex length scale, distinctly different from the scale invariance of turbulent high-Reynolds number flows. Collective length-scale selection has been observed in bacterial fluids, endothelial tissue, and active colloids, yet the physical origins of this phenomenon remain elusive. Here, we sy...
متن کاملEffective viscosity properties of dilute suspensions of arbitrarily shaped particles
In this paper we derive high-order asymptotic expansions of the effective viscosity properties of a dilute periodic suspension composed of freely-suspended arbitrarily shaped particles dispersed in an incompressible Newtonian fluid. High-order terms are not only function of the viscous moment tensor but also of a distortion tensor that characterizes the periodic array. Mathematics subject class...
متن کاملEffective viscosity of dilute bacterial suspensions: a two-dimensional model.
Suspensions of self-propelled particles are studied in the framework of two-dimensional (2D) Stokesean hydrodynamics. A formula is obtained for the effective viscosity of such suspensions in the limit of small concentrations. This formula includes the two terms that are found in the 2D version of Einstein's classical result for passive suspensions. To this, the main result of the paper is added...

متن کاملViscosity of two-dimensional suspensions.
Over a range of conditions, lipid and surfactant monolayers exhibit coexistence of discrete solid domains in a continuous liquid. The surface shear viscosity, mu(s), of such monolayers collapses onto a single curve: mu(s)/mu(so) = [1-(A/A(c))](-1), in which mu(so) is the viscosity of the liquid phase, A is the area fraction of the solid phase measured by fluorescence microscopy, and A(c) is a c...
