Abstract

We uncover activity-driven crossover from phase separation to a new turbulent state in a two- dimensional system of counter-rotating spinners. We study the statistical properties of this active- rotor turbulence using the active-rotor Cahn-Hilliard-Navier-Stokes model, and show that the vor- ticity ω ∝ ϕ, the scalar field that distinguishes regions with different rotating states. We explain this intriguing proportionality theoretically, and we characterize power-law energy and concentra- tion spectra, intermittency, and flow-topology statistics. We suggest biological implications of such turbulence. This work has been done with Biswajit Maji and Nadia Bihari Padhan. https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.03843
