We study the mobility and the diffusion coefficient of an inertial tracer advected by a two-dimensional incompressible laminar flow, in the presence of thermal noise and under the action of an external force. We show, with extensive…

When submerged in a chiral active bath, a passive object becomes a spinning ratchet imbued with odd transport properties. We present the most general Langevin dynamics for a rigid body in a chiral active bath, in the adiabatic limit of…

We study the dynamics of a zero-temperature overdamped tracer in a bath of Brownian particles. As the bath density is increased, numerical simulations show the tracer to transition from an active dynamics, characterized by boundary…
