Self-propelled nonlinearly diffusing particles: Aggregation and continuum description.
We introduce a model of self-propelled particles carrying out a Brownian motion with a diffusion coefficient which depends on the local density of particles within a certain finite radius. Numerical simulations show that in a range of parameters the long-time spatial distribution of particles is nonhomogeneous, and clusters can be observed. A number density equation, which explains the emergenc...
متن کاملHydrodynamic equations for self-propelled particles: microscopic derivation and stability analysis
Considering a gas of self-propelled particles with binary interactions, we derive the hydrodynamic equations governing the density and velocity fields from the microscopic dynamics, in the framework of the associated Boltzmann equation. Explicit expressions for the transport coefficients are given, as a function of the microscopic parameters of the model. We show that the homogeneous state with...
متن کاملComparison between Smoluchowski and Boltzmann approaches for self-propelled rods.
Considering systems of self-propelled polar particles with nematic interactions ("rods"), we compare the continuum equations describing the evolution of polar and nematic order parameters, derived either from Smoluchowski or Boltzmann equations. Our main goal is to understand the discrepancies between the continuum equations obtained so far in both frameworks. We first show that, in the simple ...
متن کاملHydrodynamic fluctuations and instabilities in ordered suspensions of self-propelled particles.
We construct the hydrodynamic equations for suspensions of self-propelled particles (SPPs) with spontaneous orientational order, and make a number of striking, testable predictions: (i) Nematic SPP suspensions are always absolutely unstable at long wavelengths. (ii) SPP suspensions support novel propagating modes at long wavelengths, coupling orientation, flow, and concentration. (iii) In a wav...
متن کاملEfficient lattice Boltzmann simulations of self-propelled particles with singular forces
e motion of microorganisms presents interesting and dicult problems ranging from mechanisms of propulsion to collective eects. Experimentally, some of the complicating factors, such as death, reproduction, chemotaxis, etc., can be suppressed through genetic manipulation or environmental control. Nonequilibrium statistical mechanics has been used to study simple models, however proceeding anal...
