A mechanism for anomalous transport in chiral active liquids

A mechanism for anomalous transport in chiral active liquids

Chiral active fluids are known to have anomalous transport properties such as the so-called odd viscosity. In this paper, we provide a microscopic mechanism for how such anomalous transport coefficients can emerge. We construct an Irving-Kirkwood-type stress tensor for chiral liquids and express the transport coefficients in terms of orientation-averaged …
