Modeling of chemically active particles at an air-liquid interface

Soft Condensed Matter 2022-05-10 v2

Abstract

The collective motion of chemically active particles at an air-liquid interface is studied theoretically as a dynamic self-organization problem. Based on a physical consideration, we propose a minimal model for self-propelled particles by combining hydrodynamic interaction, capillary interaction, driving force by Marangoni effect, and Marangoni flow. Our model has successfully captured the features of chemically active particles, that represent dynamic self-organized states such as crystalline, chain, liquid-like and spreading states.
