Morphological regimes and rheological properties. Panel (a): Phase diagram in the plane generated by the two control parameters (the strength of the active energy injection and shear rate). Panel (b) shows the behavior of the measured viscosity \(\eta \) (computed as \(\langle \sigma ^{tot}_{yz} \rangle /{\dot{\gamma }}\)) normalized with respect the nominal viscosity of the fluid at varying the intensity of contractile activity \(\zeta \), for different values of shear rate \({{\dot{\gamma }}}\). The corresponding values of shear rate from top (blue curve) to bottom (violet curve) are: \({{\dot{\gamma }}}=1.95\times 10^{-5},7.81\times 10^{-5},1.56\times 10^{-4}, 4.68\times 10^{-4}, 6.25\times 10^{-4},7.81\times 10^{-4}\).
