Enhancement of microorganism swimming speed in active matter

Harsh Soni, Robert A. Pelcovits, Thomas R. Powers

摘要:

本文研究了活性液晶各向同性相中的游动波纹片。活性改变有效剪切粘度,在活性的临界值处将其降低至零。在片振幅展开,我们发现,由于活动的游泳速度的校正是成反比的有效剪切粘度。我们的微扰计算变得无效的临界值附近的活动,使用数值方法来探测这个政权,我们发现,活动提高了游泳速度的数量级相比,被动的情况下。

英文摘要:

We study a swimming undulating sheet in the isotropic phase of an active nematic liquid crystal. Activity changes the effective shear viscosity, reducing it to zero at a critical value of activity. Expanding in the sheet amplitude, we find that the correction to the swimming speed due to activity is inversely proportional to the effective shear viscosity. Our perturbative calculation becomes invalid near the critical value of activity; using numerical methods to probe this regime, we find that activity enhances the swimming speed by an order of magnitude compared to the passive case.
