Degenerate states, emergent dynamics and fluid mixing by magnetic rotors
We investigate the collective motion of magnetic rotors suspended in a viscous fluid under a uniform rotating magnetic field. The rotors are positioned on a square lattice, and low Reynolds hydrodynamics is assumed. For a 3 × 3 array of magnets, we observe three characteristic dynamical pat...
