Dynamic regimes of hydrodynamically coupled self - propelling particles
– We analyze the collective dynamics of self-propelling particles (spps) which move at small Reynolds numbers including the hydrodynamic coupling to the suspending solvent through numerical simulations. The velocity distribution functions show marked deviations from Gaussian behavior at short times, and the mean square displacement at long times shows a transition from diffusive to ballistic mo...
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 کاملDynamic simulation of hydrodynamically interacting particles
A general method for computing the hydrodynamic interactions among N suspended particles, under the condition of vanishingly small particle Reynolds number, is presented. The method accounts for both near-field lubrication effects and the dominant many-body interactions. The many-body hydrodynamic interactions reproduce the screening characteristic of porous media and the ‘effective viscosity ’...
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...
متن کاملDynamic Simulation of Electro-Hydrodynamically Interacting and Sedimenting Particles
Particle-particle interactions in sedimenting systems have been investigated in the present study considering the many-body hydrodynamic and electrodynamic interactions. These interactions primarily occur in two modes: near-field and far-field interactions. The hydrodynamic interactions are modeled employing the Stokesian Dynamics while the electrodynamic interactions are accounted using the gr...
