Collision between chemically driven self - propelled drops
We use analytical and numerical approaches to investigate head-on collisions between two self-propelled drops described as a phase separated binary mixture. Each drop is driven by chemical reactions that isotropically produce or consume the concentration of a third chemical component, which affects the surface tension of the drop. The isotropic distribution of the concentration field is destabi...
متن کاملMinimum Time Kinematic Trajectories for Self-propelled Rigid Bodies in the Unobstructed Plane
The problem of moving rigid bodies efficiently is of particular interest in robotics because the simplest model of a mobile robot or of a manipulated object is often a rigid body. Path planning, controller design and robot design may all benefit from precise knowledge of optimal trajectories for a set of permitted controls. In this work, we present a general solution to the problem of finding m...
متن کاملOn the Stability of Self-Propelled Bodies with Respect to their Shape Motion
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 sta...
متن کاملSelf-propelled Leidenfrost droplets.
We report that liquids perform self-propelled motion when they are placed in contact with hot surfaces with asymmetric (ratchetlike) topology. The pumping effect is observed when the liquid is in the Leidenfrost regime (the film-boiling regime), for many liquids and over a wide temperature range. We propose that liquid motion is driven by a viscous force exerted by vapor flow between the solid ...
متن کاملComparison between Smoluchowski and Boltzmann approaches for self-propelled rods.
Considering systems of self-propelled polar particles with nematic interactions ("rods"), we compare the continuum equations describing the evolution of polar and nematic order parameters, derived either from Smoluchowski or Boltzmann equations. Our main goal is to understand the discrepancies between the continuum equations obtained so far in both frameworks. We first show that, in the simple ...
