SUMMARY:Self-limited structures in active fluids : vignettes from theory\,
  simulation and experiments - Aparna Baskaran (Brandeis University)

DESCRIPTION:Anti-diffusion in active fluids is a dissipative phenomenon th
 at arises due to the breaking of detailed balance in these internally driv
 en systems. When no arresting mechanism exists\, this results in MIPS. Whe
 n 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 alig
 ning interactions between elongated particles. I will do this using two ex
 amples : a) A microscopic model of self propelled rods enclosed in elastic
  vesicles and b) experimental results from an active fluid made of microtu
 bules and kinesin motors.
