Vortex pattern stabilization in thin films resulting from shear thickening of active suspensions
Published 14 Mar 2024 in cond-mat.soft, physics.bio-ph, and physics.flu-dyn | (2403.09523v1)
Abstract: 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 turbulence on the mesoscale. As we demonstrate, a shear-thickening carrier fluid of active microswimmers intrinsically stabilizes regular vortex patterns of otherwise turbulent active suspensions. The fluid self-organizes into a periodically structured nonequilibrium state. Introducing additional passive particles of intermediate size leads to regular spatial organization of these objects. Our approach opens a new path towards functionalization through patterning of thin films and membranes.
