Statistical 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 کاملJamming and Attraction of Interacting Run-and-Tumble Random Walkers.
We study a model of bacterial dynamics where two interacting random walkers perform run-and-tumble motion on a one-dimensional lattice under mutual exclusion and find an exact expression for the probability distribution in the steady state. This stationary distribution has a rich structure comprising three components: a jammed component, where the particles are adjacent and block each other; an...
متن کاملRun-and-tumble particles in speckle fields.
The random energy landscapes developed by speckle fields can be used to confine and manipulate a large number of micro-particles with a single laser beam. By means of molecular dynamics simulations, we investigate the static and dynamic properties of an active suspension of swimming bacteria embedded into speckle patterns. Looking at the correlation of the density fluctuations and the equilibri...
متن کاملStatistical Mechanics of Interacting Fiber Bundles
We consider quasistatic fiber bundle models with weak interactions, i.e. where the perturbation emanating from every broken fiber is small compared to the mean-field imposed average deformation of the bundle. Classical load sharing rules are considered, namely purely local, purely global or decaying as a power-law of distance. All fibers have identical spring constants, reducing to zero after t...
متن کاملDirectional persistence and the optimality of run-and-tumble chemotaxis
E. coli does chemotaxis by performing a biased random walk composed of alternating periods of swimming (runs) and reorientations (tumbles). Tumbles are typically modelled as complete directional randomisations but it is known that in wild type E. coli, successive run directions are actually weakly correlated, with a mean directional difference of approximately 63 degrees. We recently presented ...
