Delay-induced instabilities in self-propelling swarms.
We consider a general model of self-propelling particles interacting through a pairwise attractive force in the presence of noise and communication time delay. Previous work by Erdmann [Phys. Rev. E 71, 051904 (2005)] has shown that a large enough noise intensity will cause a translating swarm of individuals to transition to a rotating swarm with a stationary center of mass. We show that with t...
متن کاملSelf-propelling, coalescing droplets
This work proposes and explores a new propulsion mechanism for sessile droplets which could be of interest for microfluidic applications. This mechanism relies on the Marangoni stresses resulting from the surface tension gradient arising when two droplets of different surface tensions coalesce. We argue that the tendency of the fluid to flow towards regions of higher surface tension is sufficie...
متن کاملA self-propelling endoscopic system
The existing colonoscope requires a dexterous skill of surgeon to perform the insertion in entire colon. The procedure is painful to the patient. Therefore, biomedical and robotic researchers are developing a locomotive colonoscope that can travel safely in colon In this paper, we describe a new design and concept of semi-autonomous micro robot for colonoscopy. The micro robot comprises the act...
متن کاملCircular motion of asymmetric self-propelling particles.
Micron-sized self-propelled (active) particles can be considered as model systems for characterizing more complex biological organisms like swimming bacteria or motile cells. We produce asymmetric microswimmers by soft lithography and study their circular motion on a substrate and near channel boundaries. Our experimental observations are in full agreement with a theory of Brownian dynamics for...
متن کاملRotating states of self-propelling particles in two dimensions.
We present particle-based simulations and a continuum theory for steady rotating flocks formed by self-propelling particles (SPPs) in two-dimensional space. Our models include realistic but simple rules for the self-propelling, drag, and interparticle interactions. Among other coherent structures, in particle-based simulations we find steady rotating flocks when the velocity of the particles la...
