Abstract

(7844), 80-84. The collective dynamics within the suspended drop, mediated by the viscoelastic nature of the medium, manifest into two steady state configurations, namely a unidirectional vortex or an oscillatory vortex. We present a phase diagram for the drop's steady state configuration as a function of system parameters, such as strength and packing fraction of active agents, polymer concentration
