Ordering dynamics of self-propelled particles in an inhomogeneous medium in two-dimensions is studied. We write coarse-grained hydrodynamic equations of motion for coarse-grained density and velocity fields in the presence of an external…
An approach to analyse the properties of a particle system is to compare it with different processes to understand when one of them is larger than other ones. The main technique for that is coupling, which may not be easy to construct. We…
