Spontaneous 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 ...
متن کاملDynamics of the Self-Propelled Motion of a Polymer Solvent Droplet
In this project I investigate the dynamics of the self-propelled motion of a polymer solvent droplet. Similar movement has been witnessed in a variety of situations. For example oil placed on glass substrate coated with Stearyl Trimethyl Ammonium ions exhibits this motion due to the chemical Marangoni effect. Here the droplet absorbs the hydrophobic molecules on the substrate leaving an absence...
متن کاملBrownian motion of a self-propelled particle.
Overdamped Brownian motion of a self-propelled particle is studied by solving the Langevin equation analytically. On top of translational and rotational diffusion, in the context of the presented model, the 'active' particle is driven along its internal orientation axis. We calculate the first four moments of the probability distribution function for displacements as a function of time for a sp...
متن کاملSpontaneously ordered motion of self-propelled particles
We study a biologically inspired, inherently non-equilibrium model consisting of self-propelled particles. In the model, particles move on a plane with a velocity of constant magnitude; they locally interact with their neighbours by choosing at each timestep a velocity direction equal to the average direction of their neighbours. Thus, in the limit of vanishing velocities the model becomes anal...
متن کاملMeandering Motion of Self-propelled Particles
A meander is observed in collective motion of some kinds of organisms, for exmaple, a school of fishes and a flight of bats. It is interesting problem to explore why such a motion emerges. In order to investigate the dynamics of organisms, we adopt a two dimensional optimal velocity model, which has been proposed as a dynamical model for the pedestrian flow. Some features in the pedestrian flow...
