= Active fluid
{wiki=Active_fluid}
"Active fluid" refers to a type of fluid that exhibits interesting and complex behaviors due to the presence of self-propelling or actively moving particles. These particles can be microorganisms, like bacteria, or synthetic entities, like colloidal particles that are driven by external forces. Unlike passive fluids, which respond to external forces based on traditional fluid dynamics, active fluids can exhibit unique phenomena such as swarming, pattern formation, and even turbulence.
