Author(s): Luke Neville, Jens Eggers, and Tanniemola B. Liverpool We study the breakup dynamics of a two-dimensional strip of active chiral fluid using continuum hydrodynamics. Using slender body theory, we show that the breakup is driven by the interplay between chiral and surface tension forces, and that the minimum strip thickness decays to zero as a power law … [Phys.
