Self-sustained patchy turbulence in shear-thinning active fluids

Bacterial suspensions and other active fluids can develop highly dynamical vortex states called mesoscale turbulence. Here, we reveal the pronounced effect of non-Newtonian rheology of the carrier fluid, concentrating on shear thinning. Remarkably, this leads to hysteretic emergence of the turbulent...
