摘要:

悬浮液中微泳者的集体运动在尺度上诱导出比微泳者的特征尺寸大得多的涡旋模式,达到一种称为细菌湍流的状态。流体动力学湍流作用在更大的尺度上,并且由能量的惯性传输主导。利用修正的纳维-斯托克斯方程,研究了二维微泳者稠密悬浮体的性质,其中涡度拟能守恒可以驱动一个逆级联,通过该级联能量在最大尺度上积累.我们发现,流动的动力学和统计特性在最大的长度尺度上表现出急剧的过渡到旋涡的形成。结果表明,二维细菌湍流和流体动力学湍流通过亚临界相变分离。

英文摘要:

The collective motion of microswimmers in suspensions induce patterns of vortices on scales that are much larger than the characteristic size of a microswimmer, attaining a state called bacterial turbulence. Hydrodynamic turbulence acts on even larger scales and is dominated by inertial transport of energy. Using an established modification of the Navier-Stokes equation that accounts for the small scale forcing of hydrodynamic flow by microswimmers, we study the properties of a dense supensions of microswimmers in two dimensions, where the conservation of enstrophy can drive an inverse cascade through which energy is accumulated on the largest scales. We find that the dynamical and statistical properties of the flow show a sharp transition to the formation of vortices at the largest length scale. The results show that 2d bacterial and hydrodynamic turbulence are separated by a subcritical phase transition.
