Collective Dynamics of Self-propelled Semiflexible Filaments
The collective behavior of active semiflexible filaments is studied with a model of tangentially driven self-propelled worm-like chains. The combination of excluded-volume interactions and selfpropulsion leads to several distinct dynamic phases as a function of bending rigidity, activity, and aspect ratio of individual filaments. We consider first the case of intermediate filament density. For ...
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 ...
متن کاملDynamics of self-propelled filaments pushing a load.
Worm-like filaments, which are propelled by a tangential homogeneous force along their contour, are studied as they push loads of different shapes and sizes. The resulting dynamics is investigated using Langevin dynamics simulations. The effects of size and shape of the load, propulsion strength, and thermal noise are systematically explored. The propulsive force and hydrodynamic friction of th...
متن کاملCollective dynamics of self-propelled particles with variable speed.
Understanding the organization of collective motion in biological systems is an ongoing challenge. In this paper we consider a minimal model of self-propelled particles with variable speed. Inspired by experimental data from schooling fish, we introduce a power-law dependency of the speed of each particle on the degree of polarization order in its neighborhood. We derive analytically a coarse-g...
متن کاملCollective dynamics of self-propelled sphere-dimer motors.
The collective dynamics of ensembles of chemically powered sphere dimer motors is investigated. Sphere dimers are self-propelled nanomotors built from linked catalytic and noncatalytic spheres. They consume fuel in the environment and utilize the resulting self-generated concentration gradients to produce directed motion along their internuclear axes. In collections of such motors, the individu...
