Fluctuations and pattern formation in self-propelled particles.
We consider a coarse-grained description of a collection of self-propelled particles given by hydrodynamic equations for the density and polarization fields. We find that the ordered moving or flocking state of the system is unstable to spatial fluctuations beyond a threshold set by the self-propulsion velocity of the individual units. In this region, the system organizes itself into an inhomog...
متن کاملMinimal mechanisms for school formation in self-propelled particles
In the context of social organisms, a school refers to a cohesive group of organisms that share a common speed and direction of motion, as well as a common axis of body alignment or polarization. Schools are also noted for the relatively fixed nearest-neighbour distances between individuals. The rules of interaction that lead to the formation and maintenance of a school structure have been expl...
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 کاملSelf - propelled particles driven by light
In dieser Arbeit untersuche ich die wesentlichen Eigen-schaften biologischer und künstlicher aktiver Systeme undstelle eine neue Technik zur Herstellung von selbstgetriebe-nen mikroskopischen Kolloiden vor. Um den Antrieb zuerhalten nutzen wir phoretische Kräfte, welche ins Spielkommen, wenn ein Janus-Teilchen seine Umgebung asym-metrisch verändert. Erheblicher experimen...
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 ...
