Joint probability density with radial, tangential, and perturbative forces

Abstract

We study the Fokker-Planck equation for an active particle with both the radial and tangential forces and the perturbative force. We find the solution of the joint probability density. In the limit of the long-time domain and for the characteristic time=0 domain, the mean squared radial velocity for an active particle leads to a super-diffusive distribution, while the mean squared tangential velocity with both the radial and tangential forces and the perturbative force behaviors as the Gaussian diffusion. Compared with the self-propelled particle, the mean squared tangential velocity is matched with the same value to the time ~t^2, while the mean squared radial velocity is the same as the time ~t.
