Abstract
Anti-diffusion in active fluids is a dissipative phenomenon that arises due to the breaking of detailed balance in these internally driven systems. When no arresting mechanism exists, this results in MIPS . When an arresting mechanism is present, it leads to self limited structures of finite size. In this talk, I will discuss clustering and self limited structure in active fluids where the arresting mechanism arise due to aligning interactions between elongated particles. I will do this using two examples : a) A microscopic model of self propelled rods enclosed in elastic vesicles and b) experimental results from an active fluid made of microtubules and kinesin motors.
Series This talk is part of the Isaac Newton Institute Seminar Series series.
