Anomalous diffusion of self-propelled particles in directed random environments.
We theoretically study the transport properties of self-propelled particles on complex structures, such as motor proteins on filament networks. A general master equation formalism is developed to investigate the persistent motion of individual random walkers, which enables us to identify the contributions of key parameters: the motor processivity, and the anisotropy and heterogeneity of the und...
متن کاملPersistent-random-walk approach to anomalous transport of self-propelled particles.
The motion of self-propelled particles is modeled as a persistent random walk. An analytical framework is developed that allows the derivation of exact expressions for the time evolution of arbitrary moments of the persistent walk's displacement. It is shown that the interplay of step length and turning angle distributions and self-propulsion produces various signs of anomalous diffusion at sho...
متن کاملA Remark on Diffusion of Directed Polymers in Random Environments
We consider a system of random walks or directed polymers interacting with an environment which is random in space and time. Under minimal assumptions on the distribution of the environment, we prove that this system has diffusive behavior with probability one if d > 2 and fl < flo, where flo is defined in terms of the probability that the symmetric nearest neighbor random walk on the d-dimensi...
متن کاملThe collective dynamics of self - propelled particles
We have proposed a method for the dynamic simulation of a collection of self-propelled particles in a viscous Newtonian fluid. We restrict attention to particles whose size and velocity are small enough that the fluid motion is in the creeping flow regime. We have proposed a simple model for a self-propelled particle, and extended the Stokesian Dynamics method to conduct dynamic simulations of ...
متن کاملSpontaneously ordered motion of self-propelled particles
We study a biologically inspired, inherently non-equilibrium model consisting of self-propelled particles. In the model, particles move on a plane with a velocity of constant magnitude; they locally interact with their neighbours by choosing at each timestep a velocity direction equal to the average direction of their neighbours. Thus, in the limit of vanishing velocities the model becomes anal...
