We study theoretically the stability of "active suspensions," modeled here as a Stokesian fluid in which are suspended motile particles. The basis of our study is a kinetic model recently posed by Saintillan and Shelley [D. Saintillan and M. J. Shelley, Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, 178103 (2008); D. Saintillan and M. J. Shelley, Phys. Fluids 20, 123304 (2008)] where the motile particles are either "pu...
