Kolmogorovian Active Turbulence of a Sparse Assembly of Interacting Marangoni Surfers
Physical Review X, 2020 Active matter, composed of self-propelled entities, forms a wide class of out-of-equilibrium systems that display striking collective behaviors, among which, the so-called active turbulence where spatially and time-disordered flow patterns spontaneously ...

Simulating the Hydrodynamics of Self-Propelled Colloidal Clusters using Stokesian Dynamics [PDF]
, 2016 Self-propelled clusters are involved in many technological applications such as in material science and biotechnology, and understanding their interaction with the fluid that surrounds them is of a great importance.

Rectification of self-propelled particles by symmetric barriers [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2013 The motion of self-propelled particles can be rectified by asymmetric or ratchet-like periodic patterns in space. Here we show that a non-zero average drift can already be induced in a periodic potential with symmetric barriers when the self-propulsion velocity is also symmetric and periodically modulated but phase-shifted against the potential. In the

Epidemic processes on self-propelled particles: Continuum and agent-based modeling
Physical Review Research, 2022 Most spreading processes require spatial proximity between agents. The stationary state of spreading dynamics in a population of mobile agents thus depends on the interplay between the time and length scales involved in the epidemic process and their ...

Mathematical models of self-propelled particles
Mathematical Models and Methods in Applied Sciences, 2017 This paper presents the papers published in two special issues devoted to the modeling of large systems of self-propelled particles. The contents of these papers are presented in the general framework of the conceptual analytic difficulties and of the computational problems that are met when dealing with this class of systems.

Shape-programmed 3D printed swimming microtori for the transport of passive and active agents
Nature Communications, 2019 While there are many demonstrations of self-propelled synthetic particles, there are fewer realisations of multimode swimming for the same particle. Here the authors demonstrate two swimming behaviours in magnetically manipulated microtori and show that ...

Boltzmann and hydrodynamic description for self-propelled particles
, 2006 We study analytically the emergence of spontaneous collective motion within large bidimensional groups of self-propelled particles with noisy local interactions, a schematic model for assemblies of biological organisms.

Guided accumulation of active particles by topological design of a second-order skin effect
Nature Communications, 2021 Sustainable strategies for shepherding active particles are at the heart of many prospective applications. Here, Palacios et al. use the emerging topological properties of a microfluidic maze array to passively guide self-propelled colloids from the ...

Active colloidal chains with cilia- and flagella-like motion
New Journal of Physics, 2018 It has been shown that self-assembled chains of active colloidal particles can present sustained oscillations. These oscillations are possible because the effective diffusiophoretic forces that mediate the interactions of colloids do not respect the ...
