Description:
Author(s): S. Fürthauer, M. Strempel, S. W. Grill, and F. Jülicher We develop a generic description of thin active films that captures key features of flow and rotation patterns emerging from the activity of chiral motors which introduce torque dipoles. We highlight the role of the spin rotation field and show that fluid flows can occur in two ways: by coupling of ... [Phys. Rev. Lett. 110, 048103] Published Wed Jan 23, 2013
