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 کاملHydrodynamic shocks in microroller suspensions
We combine experiments, large scale simulations and continuum models to study the emergence of coherent structures in a suspension of magnetically driven microrollers sedimented near a floor. Collective hydrodynamic effects are predominant in this system, leading to strong density-velocity coupling. We characterize a uniform suspension and show that density waves propagate freely in all directi...
متن کاملHydrodynamic interaction in quasi-two-dimensional suspensions
Confinement between two parallel surfaces is found, theoretically and experimentally, to drastically affect the hydrodynamic interaction between colloid particles, changing the sign of the coupling, its decay with distance and its concentration dependence. In particular, we show that three-body effects do not modify the coupling at large distances as would be expected from hydrodynamic screening.
متن کاملHydrodynamic interactions and Brownian forces in colloidal suspensions: coarse-graining over time and length scales.
We describe in detail how to implement a coarse-grained hybrid molecular dynamics and stochastic rotation dynamics simulation technique that captures the combined effects of Brownian and hydrodynamic forces in colloidal suspensions. The importance of carefully tuning the simulation parameters to correctly resolve the multiple time and length scales of this problem is emphasized. We systematical...
متن کاملPropagation of hydrodynamic interactions in colloidal suspensions.
We describe direct measurements of the dynamics of two colloidal spheres before hydrodynamic interactions have had time to fully develop. We find that the dynamics of the two spheres are coupled at times significantly shorter than tau(nu), the time required for vorticity to diffuse between the two spheres. From the distance dependence of the measured coupling, we infer that hydrodynamic interac...
