Lagrangian Manifestation of Anomalies in Active Turbulence.
2021
We show that Lagrangian measurements in active turbulence bear imprints of turbulent and anomalous streaky hydrodynamics leading to a self-selection of persistent trajectories - Levy walks - over diffusive ones. This emergent dynamical heterogeneity results in a super-diffusive first passage distribution which could lead to biologically advantageous motility. We then go beyond single-particle statistics to show that for the pair-dispersion problem as well, active flows are at odds with inertial turbulence. Our study, we believe, will readily inform experiments in establishing the extent of universality of anomalous behaviour across a variety of active flows.
