Abstract:
Active colloids - microorganisms, synthetic microswimmers, and self-propelling droplets - are known to self-organize into ordered structures at fluid-solid boundaries. Their mutual entrainment in the attractive component of the flow has been postulated as a possible mechanism underlying this phenomenon. In this talk, we describe this fluid-induced phase separation by combining experiments, theory, and numerical simulations, and demonstrate its control by changing the hydrodynamic boundary conditions. We show that, for flow in Hele-Shaw cells, metastable lines or stable traveling bands of colloids can be obtained by varying the cell height, while for flow bounded by a plane, dynamic crystallites are formed. At a plane no-slip wall, these crystallites are characterized by a continuous out-of-plane flux of particles that circulate and re-enter at the crystallite edges, thereby stabilizing them, while the crystallites are strictly two-dimensional at a plane where the tangential stress vanishes. These results are elucidated by deriving, using the boundary-domain integral formulation of Stokes flow, exact expressions for dissipative, long-ranged, many-body active forces and torques between them in respective boundary conditions.

  56. Analytical and numerics-friendly formalism to study fluid-mediated interactions between active

    colloids that does not need to resolve explicit fluid degrees of freedom. Collective steady-states in active colloidal suspension are obtained from the flow-induced phase separation (FIPS) mechanisms. FIPS mechanisms are of dynamical origin. They are obtained from the balance of forces and torques on the colloids. In general, boundary conditions in the flow modify the active forces and torques, and thus, determine the collective behaviour. Summary
