Dynamics of a deformable active particle under shear flow.
The motion of a deformable active particle in linear shear flow is explored theoretically. Based on symmetry considerations, we propose coupled nonlinear dynamical equations for the particle position, velocity, deformation, and rotation. In our model, both, passive rotations induced by the shear flow as well as active spinning motions, are taken into account. Our equations reduce to known model...
متن کاملThe structure of deformable particles in applied external fields
The structure of two dimensional deformable particles of low interfacial tension is studied theoretically. Closed loops in the plane are used to model droplets of one liquid in a second with surface active molecules residing at the liquid-liquid interface. The mechanical properties of the surfactant layer are represented by a bending energy contribution due to Helfrich, where the relevant param...
متن کاملInteraction of two deformable viscous drops under external temperature gradient
The axisymmetric deformation and motion of interacting droplets in an imposed temperature gradient is considered using boundary-integral techniques for slow viscous motion. Results showing temporal drop motion, deformations and separation are presented for equal-viscosity fluids. The focus is on cases when the drops are of equal radii or when the smaller drop trails behind the larger drop. For ...
متن کاملCells as active particles in asymmetric potentials: motility under external gradients.
Cell migration is a crucial event during development and in disease. Mechanical constraints and chemical gradients can contribute to the establishment of cell direction, but their respective roles remain poorly understood. Using a microfabricated topographical ratchet, we show that the nucleus dictates the direction of cell movement through mechanical guidance by its environment. We demonstrate...
متن کاملCollective dynamics of soft active particles.
We present a model of soft active particles that leads to a rich array of collective behavior found also in dense biological swarms of bacteria and other unicellular organisms. Our model uses only local interactions, such as Vicsek-type nearest-neighbor alignment, short-range repulsion, and a local boundary term. Changing the relative strength of these interactions leads to migrating swarms, ro...
