We describe a method to address efficiently problems of two-phase flow in the regime of low particle Reynolds number and negligible Brownian motion. One of the phases is an incompressible continuous fluid and the other a discrete…

In this article we derive and test the fluctuating hydrodynamic description of active particles interacting via taxis and quorum sensing, both for mono-disperse systems and for mixtures of co-existing species of active particles. We compute…

We study non-equilibrium analogues of surface phase transitions in a minimal model of active particles in contact with a purely repulsive potential barrier that mimics a thin porous membrane. Under conditions of bulk motility-induced phase…

We study numerically the motion of a one dimensional array of Brownian particles in a washboard potential, driven by an external stochastic force and interacting via short range repulsive forces. In particular, we investigate the role of…

By studying a system of Brownian particles, interacting only through a local social-like force (velocity alignment), we show that self-propulsion is not a necessary feature for the flocking transition to take place as long as underdamped…

We experimentally investigate the statistical behaviour of a model two-dimensional granular system undergoing stationary sedimentation. Buoyant cylindrical particles are rotated in liquid-filled drum, thus confined in a harmonic centripetal…

We consider a Fermi liquid model with density-density as well as quadrupolar forward scattering interactions parametrized by the Landau parameters $F_0$ and $F_2$. Using bosonization and a decimation technique, we compute collective modes…
