Project C7: Dense active suspensions in the chaotic regime Active matter has become a quickly evolving field spanning from biology and physics to chemistry and engineering. Its defining property is the directed motion—translational, rotational, or both—of its constituents. This directed motion requires the steady input of free energy. Freed from the constraints of thermal equilibrium, active matter exhibits a wide range of novel phenomena; on the level of its single constituents up to emergent many-body collective and dynamic behavior. Extensively studied have been the aggregation of active particles into clusters, swarms, and other highly collective and dynamics states; but also spontaneous flow states where sufficiently high activity triggers the transition from a quiescent to a flowing fluid. At high densities, chaotic behavior has been reported in suspensions of bacteria and in numerical simulations. The aim of this project is to develop a comprehensive multiscale framework that bridges the properties of […]
