Influences of transversely isotropic rheology and translational diffusion on the stability of active suspensions

Suspensions of self-motile, elongated particles are a topic of significant current interest, exemplifying a form of ‘active matter’. Examples include self-propelling bacteria, algae and sperm, and artificial swimmers. Ericksen's model of a transversely isotropic fluid (Ericksen 1960 Colloid Pol...
