We consider a coarse-grained description of a system of self-propelled particles given by hydrodynamic equations for the density and polarization fields. We find that the ordered moving or flocking state of the system is unstable to spatial…
We computationally study the behavior of underdamped active Brownian particles in a sheared channel geometry. Due to their underdamped dynamics, the particles carry momentum a characteristic distance away from the boundary before it is…
We consider two different models for colloidal particles. In the first model, we consider their free motion to be diffusion while in the second model we take it to be integrated Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. In both models, we derived…
