On the Stability of Self-Propelled Bodies with Respect to their Shape Motion
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper studies the stability of the trajectories of self-propelled bodies immersed in a fluid at low Reynolds number, with respect to their dynamic shape deformation. We consider both adherence and perfect slip boundary conditions on the moving body. Using shape derivative arguments in association with recent higher order regularity results for the Bogovskĭı operator, we bring the shape stability question to a finite dimension dynamical system analysis.

On the self-displacement of deformable bodies in an ideal fluid
Understanding fish-like locomotion as a result of internal shape changes may result in improved underwater propulsion mechanism. In this article, we study a coupled system of partial differential equations and ordinary differential equations which models the motion of self-propelled deformable bodies (called swimmers) in an ideal fluid. The deformations being prescribed, we apply the least acti...

متن کاملHydrodynamic equations for self-propelled particles: microscopic derivation and stability analysis
Considering a gas of self-propelled particles with binary interactions, we derive the hydrodynamic equations governing the density and velocity fields from the microscopic dynamics, in the framework of the associated Boltzmann equation. Explicit expressions for the transport coefficients are given, as a function of the microscopic parameters of the model. We show that the homogeneous state with...
متن کاملSpontaneous motion and deformation of a self-propelled droplet.
The time evolution equation of motion and shape are derived for a self-propelled droplet driven by a chemical reaction. The coupling between the chemical reaction and motion makes an inhomogeneous concentration distribution as well as a surrounding flow leading to the instability of a stationary state. The instability results in spontaneous motion by which the shape of the droplet deforms from ...

Self-propelled colloids have emerged as a new class of active matter over the past decade. These are micrometer sized colloidal objects that transduce free energy from their surroundings and convert it to directed motion. The self-propelled colloids are in many ways, the synthetic analogues of biological self-propelled units such as algae or bacteria. Although they are propelled by very differe...
