Self-sustained biphasic catalytic particle turbulence

Turbulent systems are particularly suitable for heat transport. Here the authors add active particles to a turbulent system, and the coupling of turbulent convection and the collective dynamics of active particles leads to a 500% enhancement in heat transfer compared to a standard turbulent heat exc...
