Odd slip on chiral active surfaces — •Andrej Vilfan1 and Yuto Hosaka2 — 1Jožef Stefan Institute, Ljubljana, Slovenia — 2Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization, Göttingen, Germany
Chiral active surfaces are characterized by persistent energy input with a defined sense of chirality, for example by a carpet of symmetrically rotating biological or artificial cilia. We demonstrate that when subjected to a shear flow, such a surface can lead to an effective odd slip velocity, in addition to classical Navier slip. Odd Navier slip represents a novel category of odd responses beyond the established concepts of odd viscosity and elasticity, which occur in bulk fluids or solids, and odd diffusivity of point particles. We show that a suspension of particles with odd slip can exhibit odd viscosity, providing a new mechanism for its emergence.
