Activity induces traveling waves, vortices and spatiotemporal chaos in a model actomyosin layer

Inspired by the actomyosin cortex in biological cells, we investigate the spatiotemporal dynamics of a model describing a contractile active polar fluid sandwiched between two external media. The external media impose frictional forces at the interface with the active fluid. The fluid is driven by a...
