Abstract
En 中文
Nonreciprocal interactions fueled by local energy consumption can be found in biological and synthetic active matter at scales where viscoelastic forces are important. Such systems can be described by odd viscoelasticity, which assumes fewer material symmetries than traditional theories. Here we study odd viscoelasticity analytically and using lattice Boltzmann simulations. We identify a pattern-forming instability which produces an oscillating array of fluid vortices, and we elucidate which features govern the growth rate, wavelength, and saturation of the vortices. Our observation of pattern formation through odd mechanical response can inform models of biological patterning and guide engineering of odd dynamics in soft active matter systems.
