[HTML][HTML] Chaotic measures as an alternative to spectral measures for analysing turbulent flow

RDJG Ho, D Clark, A Berera - Atmosphere, 2024 - mdpi.com
Turbulence has associated chaotic features. In the past couple of decades, there has been
growing interest in the study of these features as an alternative means of understanding …

Spontaneous self-constraint in active nematic flows

LC Head, C Doré, RR Keogh, L Bonn, G Negro… - Nature Physics, 2024 - nature.com
Active processes drive biological dynamics across various scales and include subcellular
cytoskeletal remodelling, tissue development in embryogenesis and the population-level …

Pattern formation by turbulent cascades

XM de Wit, M Fruchart, T Khain, F Toschi, V Vitelli - Nature, 2024 - nature.com
Fully developed turbulence is a universal and scale-invariant chaotic state characterized by
an energy cascade from large to small scales at which the cascade is eventually arrested by …

Nonequilibrium hyperuniform states in active turbulence

R Backofen, AYA Altawil… - Proceedings of the …, 2024 - National Acad Sciences
We demonstrate that the complex spatiotemporal structure in active fluids can feature
characteristics of hyperuniformity. Using a hydrodynamic model, we show that the transition …

Quantum collective motion of macroscopic mechanical oscillators

M Chegnizadeh, M Scigliuzzo, A Youssefi, S Kono… - Science, 2024 - science.org
Collective phenomena arise from interactions within complex systems, leading to behaviors
absent in individual components. Observing quantum collective phenomena with …

Vortex pattern stabilization in thin films resulting from shear thickening of active suspensions

H Reinken, AM Menzel - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
The need for structuring on micrometer scales is abundant, for example, in view of phononic
applications. We here outline a novel approach based on the phenomenon of active …

Spectral energy transfers in domain growth problems

PK Yadav, MK Verma, S Puri - Physical Review E, 2024 - APS
In the domain growth process, small structures gradually vanish, leaving behind larger ones.
We investigate spectral energy transfers in two standard models for domain growth:(a) the …

Emerging mesoscale flows and chaotic advection in dense active matter

YE Keta, JU Klamser, RL Jack, L Berthier - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
We study two models of overdamped self-propelled disks in two dimensions, with and
without aligning interactions. Both models support active mesoscale flows, leading to chaotic …

Novel turbulence and coarsening arrest in active-scalar fluids

NB Padhan, KV Kiran, R Pandit - Soft Matter, 2024 - pubs.rsc.org
We uncover a new type of turbulence–activity-induced homogeneous and isotropic
turbulence–in a model that has been employed to investigate motility-induced phase …

Self-sustained patchy turbulence in shear-thinning active fluids

H Reinken, AM Menzel - arxiv preprint arxiv:2409.18576, 2024 - arxiv.org
Bacterial suspensions and other active fluids can develop highly dynamical vortex states
called mesoscale turbulence. Here, we reveal the pronounced effect of non-Newtonian …
