Diffusion in a continuum model of self-propelled particles with alignment interaction
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we provide the O(ε) corrections to the hydrodynamic model derived by Degond &Motsch from a kinetic version of the model by Vicsek & coauthors describing flocking biological agents. The parameter ε stands for the ratio of the microscopic to the macroscopic scales. The O(ε) corrected model involves diffusion terms in both the mass and velocity equations as well as terms which are quadratic functions of the first order derivatives of the density and velocity. The derivation method is based on the standard Chapman-Enskog theory, but is significantly more complex than usual due to both the non-isotropy of the fluid and the lack of momentum conservation.

A continuum model for nematic alignment of self-propelled particles
A continuum model for a population of self-propelled particles interacting through nematic alignment is derived from an individual-based model. The methodology consists of introducing a hydrodynamic scaling of the corresponding mean-field kinetic equation. The resulting perturbation problem is solved thanks to the concept of generalized collision invariants. It yields a hyperbolic but non-conse...

We introduce a model of self-propelled particles carrying out a Brownian motion with a diffusion coefficient which depends on the local density of particles within a certain finite radius. Numerical simulations show that in a range of parameters the long-time spatial distribution of particles is non-homogeneous, and clusters can be observed. A number density equation, which explains the emergen...

متن کاملA two-species hydrodynamic model of particles interacting through self-alignment
In this paper, we present a two-species Vicsek model, that describes alignment interactions of self-propelled particles which can either move or not. The model consists in two populations with distinct Vicsek dynamics [42] that interact only via the passage of the particles from one population to the other. The derivation of a macroscopic description of this model is performed using the methodo...
متن کاملA continuum model for alignment of self-propelled particles with anisotropy and density-dependent parameters
We consider the macroscopic model derived by Degond and Motsch from a time-continuous version of the Vicsek model, describing the interaction orientation in a large number of self-propelled particles. In this article, we study the influence of a slight modification at the individual level, letting the relaxation parameter depend on the local density and taking in account some anisotropy in the ...
