Self-Propelled Rods near Surfaces
We study the behavior of self-propelled nanoand micro-rods in three dimensions, confined between two parallel walls, by simulations and scaling arguments. Our simulations include thermal fluctuations and hydrodynamic interactions, which are both relevant for the dynamical behavior at nanoto micrometer length scales. In order to investigate the importance hydrodynamic interactions, we also perfo...
متن کاملAggregation of self-propelled colloidal rods near confining walls.
The nonequilibrium collective behavior of self-propelled colloidal rods in a confining channel is studied using Brownian dynamics simulations and dynamical density functional theory. We observe an aggregation process in which rods self-organize into transiently jammed clusters at the channel walls. In the early stage of the process, fast-growing hedgehoglike clusters are formed which are largel...
متن کاملNonequilibrium clustering of self-propelled rods.
Motivated by aggregation phenomena in gliding bacteria, we study collective motion in a two-dimensional model of active, self-propelled rods interacting through volume exclusion. In simulations with individual particles, we find that particle clustering is facilitated by a sufficiently large packing fraction eta or length-to-width ratio kappa . The transition to clustering in simulations is wel...
متن کاملConcentration dependent diffusion of self-propelled rods.
We examine the persistent random motion of self-propelled rods (SPR) as a function of the area fraction phi and study the effect of steric interactions on their diffusion properties. SPR of length l and width w are fabricated with a spherocylindrical head attached to a beaded chain tail, and show directed motion on a vibrated substrate. The mean square displacement (MSD) on the substrate grows ...
متن کاملHydrodynamics of self-propelled hard rods.
Motivated by recent simulations and by experiments on aggregation of gliding bacteria, we study a model of the collective dynamics of self-propelled hard rods on a substrate in two dimensions. The rods have finite size, interact via excluded volume, and their dynamics is overdamped by the interaction with the substrate. Starting from a microscopic model with nonthermal noise sources, a continuu...
