DYNAMICS OF SELF-PROPELLED PARTICLES (SPP): AN ANALYTICAL STUDY OF THEIR COLLECTIVE BEHAVIOUR
Abstract
Self-propelled particles have been widely studied for various applications in the field of bio- nanotechnology. They exhibit significant non-equilibrium properties. Self-propelled active particles that transform energy into mechanical vibrations have gained much attention in recent past. These can be classified as “micro-swimmers”, "micro-flyers," "hoppers," or "runners", “swirlons”, “chemotaxis” and “skimmers” etc. We have tried to investigate the collective properties of swimmers having linear and rotational motion using models based on active Brownian motion and Langevin equations of motion. We use finite difference method to solve these equations numerically and explore the collective behaviour of self-propelled particles.
Keywords - Self-propelled Particles, Micro-swimmers, Micro-flyers, Active Brownian Motion, Active Langevin motion.
