Anomalous Long-Ranged Influence of an Inclusion in Momentum-Conserving Active Fluids

We show that an inclusion placed inside a dilute Stokesian suspension of microswimmers induces power-law number-density modulations and flows. These take a different form depending on whether the inclusion is held fixed by an external force—for example, an optical tweezer—or if it is free. When the...
