Abstract

Dense bacterial suspensions display spatiotemporally chaotic flows, termed active turbulence. While tracer trajectories meander diffusively in these flows, we find that highly active suspensions allow for a fundamentally different, persistent motion, aided by emergent streaks in the flow field. This dynamical heterogeneity manifests in faster first-passage times and alters pair-dispersion statistics.
