Evidence suggests that the transport rate of a passive particle at long timescales is enhanced due to interactions with the surrounding active ones in a size- and composition-dependent manner. Using a system of particles with different…

We study the relaxation of a test particle immersed in a bath of field particles interacting via weak long-range forces. To order 1/N in the $N\to +\infty$ limit, the velocity distribution of the test particle satisfies a Fokker-Planck…

A possible approximate route to obtain the equation of state of the monodisperse hard-sphere system in the metastable fluid region from the knowledge of the equation of state of a hard-sphere mixture at high densities is discussed. The…

We discuss particle production mechanisms for heavy ion collisions. We present an argument demonstrating how the fluctuations of the number of produced particles in a series of classical emissions can account for KNO scaling. We predict…

One-dimensional non-equilibrium models of particles subjected to a coagulation-diffusion process are important in understanding non-equilibrium dynamics, and fluctuation-dissipation relation. We consider in this paper transport properties…

Hybrid particle-field methods are computationally efficient approaches for modelling soft matter systems. So far applications of these methodologies have been limited to constant volume conditions. Here, we reformulate particle-field…

Conventional approaches for simulating steady-state distributions of particles under diffusive and advective transport at high P\'eclet numbers involve solving the diffusion and advection equations in at least two dimensions. Here, we…

We investigate the hydrodynamic properties of a fluid simulated with a mesoscopic solvent model. Two distinct regimes are identified, the `particle regime' in which the dynamics is gas-like, and the `collective regime' where the dynamics is…
