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 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...
متن کاملGravitaxis of asymmetric self-propelled colloidal particles.
Many motile microorganisms adjust their swimming motion relative to the gravitational field and thus counteract sedimentation to the ground. This gravitactic behaviour is often the result of an inhomogeneous mass distribution, which aligns the microorganism similar to a buoy. However, it has been suggested that gravitaxis can also result from a geometric fore-rear asymmetry, typical for many se...
متن کاملMeandering Motion of Self-propelled Particles
A meander is observed in collective motion of some kinds of organisms, for exmaple, a school of fishes and a flight of bats. It is interesting problem to explore why such a motion emerges. In order to investigate the dynamics of organisms, we adopt a two dimensional optimal velocity model, which has been proposed as a dynamical model for the pedestrian flow. Some features in the pedestrian flow...
