Fig. 3: Defect separation.
From: Mitigating density fluctuations in particle-based active nematic simulations
Steady-state defect density ρd is used to compute the root-mean square defect separation \({\ell }_{d}={\rho }_{d}^{-1/2}\) for all four formulations of cellular activity. The dashed line indicates a scaling of ℓd ~ α−1/2, which is the theoretically expected scaling for active nematic turbulence. ("Part.'', Eq. (6), blue; “Cell'', Eq. (8), red; “Mod. Part.'', Eq. (12), cyan; “Mod. Cell'', Eq. (11), yellow).
