In two papers we proposed a continuum model for the dynamics of systems of self propelling particles with kinematic constraints on the velocities and discussed some of its properties. The model aims to be analogous to a discrete algorithm…
While accurate simulations of dense gas flows far from the equilibrium can be achieved by Direct Simulation adapted to the Enskog equation, the significant computational demand required for collisions appears as a major constraint. In order…
We study a Vicsek-style model of self-propelled particles where ferromagnetic and nematic alignment compete in both the usual "metric" version and in the "metric-free" case where a particle interacts with its Voronoi neighbors. We show that…
New model equations are derived for dynamics of self-aggregation of finite-size particles. Differences from standard Debye-Huckel and Keller-Segel models are: the mobility of particles depends on the configuration of their neighbors and…
Considering a gas of self-propelled particles with binary interactions, we derive the hydrodynamic equations governing the density and velocity fields from the microscopic dynamics, in the framework of the associated Boltzmann equation.…
Run-and-tumble processes successfully model several living systems. While studies have typically focused on particles with isotropic tumbles, recent examples exhibit "tumble-turns", in which particles undergo 90{\deg} tumbles and so possess…
In Part I of this two-part series, the reverse perturbation method for shearing simple liquids [Phys. Rev. E 59, 4894 (1999)] was extended to systems of interacting particles with time-discrete stochastic dynamics. For verification, in this…
In this manuscript, we investigate the patterns satisfied by the cosmological anisotropy under the hypothesis of the observers being co-moving with a perfect fluid whose induced space sections are homogeneous with vanishing scalar…
We show that low density homogeneous phases of self propelled hard disks exhibit a transition from isotropic to polar collective motion, albeit of a qualitatively distinct class from the Vicsek one. In the absence of noise, an abrupt…
We consider a macroscopic model describing a system of self-gravitating particles. We study the existence and uniqueness of non-negative stationary solutions and allude the differences to results obtained from classical gravitational…
Starting with a microscopic (individual-based) Brownian dynamics model of charged particles (ions), its macroscopic description is derived as a system of partial differential equations that govern the evolution of ion concentrations in…
In this work we extend the approach used in [Emanuel Gallo and Osvaldo M. Moreschi, Phys. Rev. D 83, 12 083007 (2011)] to the study of weak gravitational lensing in a plasma medium. First, we present expressions for the deflection angle and…
We consider the diffusion of independent particles experiencing random accelerations by a space- and time-dependent force as well as viscous damping. This model can exhibit several asymptotic behaviours, depending upon the limiting cases…
A multispecies, collisionless plasma is modeled by the Vlasov-Poisson system. Assuming that the electric field decays with sufficient rapidity as $t \to\infty$, we show that the velocity characteristics and spatial averages of the particle…
We extend a well-studied ODE model for collective behaviour by considering anisotropic interactions among individuals. Anisotropy is modelled by limited sensorial perception of individuals, that depends on their current direction of motion.…
Deformable self-propelled particles provide us with one of the most important nonlinear dissipative systems, which are related, for example, to the motion of microorganisms. It is emphasized that this is a subject of localized objects in…
We study the distances and gravitational lensing in spherically symmetric inhomogeneous cosmological models consisting of inner and outer homogeneous regions which are connected by a single shell or double shells at the redshift $z_1 \sim…
A continuum density-field formulation with particle-scale resolution is constructed to simultaneously incorporate the orientation dependence of interparticle interactions and the rotational invariance of the system, a fundamental but…
In the present paper the macroscopic limits of the kinetic model for inter-acting entities (individuals, organisms, cells) are studied. The kinetic model is one-dimensional and entities are characterized by their position and orientation…
We study a system of self-propelled agents in which each agent has a part of omnidirectional or panoramic view of its sensor disc, the field of vision of the agent in this case is only a sector of a disc bounded by two radii and the…
