Diffusion of Ellipsoids in Bacterial Suspensions

Diffusion of Ellipsoids in Bacterial Suspensions

Active fluids such as swarming bacteria and motile colloids exhibit exotic properties different from conventional equilibrium materials. As a peculiar example, a spherical tracer immersed inside active fluids shows an enhanced translational diffusion, orders of magnitude stronger than its intrinsic Brownian motion. Here, rather than spherical tracers, we investigate the …
