Front structure and dynamics in dense colonies of motile bacteria: Role of active turbulence.
Physical Review. E 2016 August
We study the spreading of a bacterial colony undergoing turbulentlike collective motion. We present two minimalistic models to investigate the interplay between population growth and coherent structures arising from turbulence. Using direct numerical simulation of the proposed models we find that turbulence has two prominent effects on the spatial growth of the colony: (a) the front speed is enhanced, and (b) the front gets crumpled. Both these effects, which we highlight by using statistical tools, are markedly different in our two models. We also show that the crumpled front structure and the passive scalar fronts in random flows are related in certain regimes.
