Run-and-tumble particles with hydrodynamics: sedimentation, trapping, and upstream swimming.

چکیده
We simulate by lattice Boltzmann the nonequilibrium steady states of run-and-tumble particles (inspired by a minimal model of bacteria), interacting by far-field hydrodynamics, subject to confinement. Under gravity, hydrodynamic interactions barely perturb the steady state found without them, but for particles in a harmonic trap such a state is quite changed if the run length is larger than the confinement length: a self-assembled pump is formed. Particles likewise confined in a narrow channel show a generic upstream flux in Poiseuille flow: chiral swimming is not required.

Efficient lattice Boltzmann simulations of self-propelled particles with singular forces
e motion of microorganisms presents interesting and dicult problems ranging from mechanisms of propulsion to collective eects. Experimentally, some of the complicating factors, such as death, reproduction, chemotaxis, etc., can be suppressed through genetic manipulation or environmental control. Nonequilibrium statistical mechanics has been used to study simple models, however proceeding anal...
متن کاملExperimental Consideration on Height and Distance Effects of Consecutive Small Dam in Trapping of Sedimentation
Sediment transport is one of the important indicators of rivers in natural conditions, which is affected by the change in geometric and flow characteristics, and is reflected in the alignment or sedimentation of different river routes. Therefore, providing suitable solutions for sediment control and fixing the longitudinal slope of the substrate and preventing sediment transport from upstre...
متن کاملThe Effect of Gabion and Masonry Check Dams on Aggregation of Deposited Sediments in Razin Watershed, Kermanshah, Iran
The purpose of this study was investigating the effect of eleven gabion and five masonry dams on trapping eroded particles in the razin watershed located north of Kermanshah township. The frequency of sand particles increased by 40.67 percent and the percentage of gravel, silt and clay particles decreased by 14.37, 56.55 and 69.93 percent in sediments behind the gabion dams as compared to the w...
متن کاملStatistical mechanics of interacting run-and-tumble bacteria.
We consider self-propelled particles undergoing run-and-tumble dynamics (as exhibited by E. coli) in one dimension. Building on previous analyses at drift-diffusion level for the one-particle density, we add both interactions and noise, enabling discussion of domain formation by "self-trapping," and other collective phenomena. Mapping onto detailed-balance systems is possible in certain cases.
متن کاملLattice Models of Nonequilibrium Bacterial Dynamics
We study a model of self propelled particles exhibiting run-and-tumble dynamics on lattice. This non-Brownian diffusion is characterised by a random walk with a finite persistence length between changes of direction, and is inspired by the motion of bacteria such as E. coli. By defining a class of models with multiple species of particle and transmutation between species we can recreate such dy...
