chaotic vortex flows in dense active suspensions such as bacteria, driven at small scales by self-propulsion rather than inertia.

In soft matter physics, active turbulence refers to chaotic vortex flows in dense active suspensions such as bacteria, driven at small scales by self-propulsion rather than inertia. This meaning comes from Wensink (2012) in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.[1]
