A Kinetic Model for Semidilute Bacterial Suspensions
Suspensions of self-propelled microscopic particles, such as swimming bacteria, exhibit collective motion leading to remarkable experimentally-observable macroscopic properties. Rigorous mathematical analysis of this emergent behavior can provide significant insight into the mechanisms behind these experimental observations; however, there are many theoretical questions remaining unanswered. In...
متن کاملSmectic filaments in colloidal suspensions of rods.
In supersaturated isotropic mixtures of hard rods, smectic filaments have recently been observed. We propose a model for formation and growth of these filaments similar to the Hoffman-Lauritzen model for polymer crystallization. Filament thickness is determined by a compromise between maximizing the amount of smectic phase formed and minimizing the nucleation barrier for adding new segments to ...
متن کاملPercolation in suspensions of polydisperse hard rods: Quasi universality and finite-size effects.
We present a study of connectivity percolation in suspensions of hard spherocylinders by means of Monte Carlo simulation and connectedness percolation theory. We focus attention on polydispersity in the length, the diameter, and the connectedness criterion, and we invoke bimodal, Gaussian, and Weibull distributions for these. The main finding from our simulations is that the percolation thresho...
متن کاملColloidal interactions in suspensions of rods.
We report direct measurements of entropic interactions of colloidal spheres in suspensions of rodlike fd bacteriophage. We investigate the influence of sphere size, rod concentration, and ionic strength on these interactions. Although the results compare favorably with a recent calculation, small discrepancies reveal entropic effects due to rod flexibility. At high salt concentrations, the pote...
متن کاملInhomogeneous suspensions of rigid rods in flow
An expression for the divergence of the stress tensor is derived for inhomogeneous suspensions of very long and thin, rigid rods. The stress tensor is expressed in terms of the suspension flow velocity and the probability density function for the position and orientation of a rod. The expression for the stress tensor includes stresses arising from possibly very large spatial gradients in the sh...
