    Hydrodynamics of active bacterial fluids

    Abstract: From the hydrodynamics point of view, assemblies of microscopic swimmers dispersed in a fluid, at very low Reynolds number, display emergent properties differing strongly from those of passive suspensions. Balances of momentum and energy as well the constitutive transport properties, are deeply modified by the active momentum sources distributed in the bulk. In the laboratory, we use E-Coli suspensions to address several of these fundamental problems around the statistical mechanics and the hydrodynamics of active fluids. We studied the enhanced Brownian diffusivity, the active shear viscosity and the anomalous dispersion of bacteria in confined environments. In this presentation, I will present some recent results and address in particular, the question of bacterial organization under flow and its impact on transport hydrodynamic properties.
