Origin of Polar Order in Dense Suspensions of Phototactic Micro-Swimmers
A main question for the study of collective motion in living organisms is the origin of orientational polar order, i.e., how organisms align and what are the benefits of such collective behaviour. In the case of micro-organisms swimming at a low Reynolds number, steric repulsion and long-range hydrodynamic interactions are not sufficient to explain a homogeneous polar order state in which the d...
متن کاملOrder dense injectivity of $S$-posets
In this paper, the notion of injectivity with respect to order dense embeddings in the category of $S$-posets, posets with a monotone action of a pomonoid $S$ on them, is studied. We give a criterion, like the Baer condition for injectivity of modules, or Skornjakov criterion for injectivity of $S$-sets, for the order dense injectivity. Also, we consider such injectivit...
متن کاملEffective shear viscosity and dynamics of suspensions of micro-swimmers from small to moderate concentrations.
Recently, there has been a number of experimental studies convincingly demonstrating that a suspension of self-propelled bacteria (microswimmers in general) may have an effective viscosity significantly smaller than the viscosity of the ambient fluid. This is in sharp contrast with suspensions of hard passive inclusions, whose presence always increases the viscosity. Here we present a 2D model ...
متن کاملActive colloidal suspensions exhibit polar order under gravity.
Recently, the steady sedimentation profile of a dilute suspension of chemically powered colloids was studied experimentally [J. Palacci et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 105, 088304 (2010)]. It was found that the sedimentation length increases quadratically with the swimming speed of the active Brownian particles. Here we investigate theoretically the sedimentation of self-propelled particles undergoing...
متن کاملOrigin of interfacial polar order in incipient ferroelectrics
There are ample experimental evidences indicating that the ferroelastic domain walls of incipient ferroelectrics, such as SrTiO3 and CaTiO3, are polar. The emergence of such interfacial polar order at a domain wall is exciting and believed to arise from the coupling between a primary order parameter, such as a strain or an antiferrodistortive (AFD) order parameter, and polarization. There have ...
