Swim pressure: stress generation in active matter.
We discover a new contribution to the pressure (or stress) exerted by a suspension of self-propelled bodies. Through their self-motion, all active matter systems generate a unique swim pressure that is entirely athermal in origin. The origin of the swim pressure is based upon the notion that an active body would swim away in space unless confined by boundaries-this confinement pressure is preci...
متن کاملSwim stress, motion, and deformation of active matter: effect of an external field.
We analyze the stress, dispersion, and average swimming speed of self-propelled particles subjected to an external field that affects their orientation and speed. The swimming trajectory is governed by a competition between the orienting influence (i.e., taxis) associated with the external (e.g., magnetic, gravitational, thermal, nutrient concentration) field versus the effects that randomize t...
متن کاملNematic and polar order in active filament solutions.
Using a microscopic model of interacting polar biofilaments and motor proteins, we characterize the phase diagram of both homogeneous and inhomogeneous states in terms of experimental parameters. The polarity of motor clusters is key in determining the organization of the filaments in homogeneous isotropic, polarized, and nematic states, while motor-induced bundling yields spatially inhomogeneo...
متن کاملNematic Order in Ferrofluids
With the help of a Landau free energy we discuss the phase transition from an isotropic ferrofluid to a nematic one. The latter can be either superparamagnetic or ferromagnetic. The transitions are first order and the ferromagnetic state can be reached directly from the isotropic one or via the superparamagnetic nematic one. An external magnetic field induces magnetic as well as nematic order. ...
متن کاملAnalysis of Plane Waves in Anisotropic Magneto-Piezothermoelastic Diffusive Body with Fractional Order Derivative
In this paper the propagation of harmonic plane waves in a homogeneous anisotropic magneto-piezothermoelastic diffusive body with fractional order derivative is studied. The governing equations for a homogeneous transversely isotropic body in the context of the theory of thermoelasticity with diffusion given by Sherief et al. [1] are considered as a special case. It is found that three types of...
