Hydrodynamic theory of two-dimensional incompressible polar active fluids with quenched and annealed disorder
Hydrodynamic theory of two-dimensional incompressible polar active fluids with quenched and annealed disorder
We study the moving phase of two-dimensional (2D) incompressible polar active fluids in the presence of both quenched and annealed disorder. We show that long-range polar order persists even in this defect-ridden two-dimensional system. We obtain the large-distance, long-time scaling laws of the velocity fluctuations using three distinct dynamic renormalization …
