Tunable persistent random walk in swimming droplets

A Izzet, PG Moerman, P Gross, J Groenewold… - Physical Review X, 2020 - APS
We characterize the motility of athermal swimming droplets within the framework of a
persistent random walk. Just like active colloids, their trajectories can be modeled with a …

[HTML][HTML] Multigear bubble propulsion of transient micromotors

A Nourhani, E Karshalev, F Soto, J Wang - Research, 2020 - spj.science.org
Transient, chemically powered micromotors are promising biocompatible engines for
microrobots. We propose a framework to investigate in detail the dynamics and the …

Dissolution-driven propulsion of floating solids

M Chaigne, M Berhanu… - Proceedings of the …, 2023 - National Acad Sciences
We show that unconstrained asymmetric dissolving solids floating in a fluid can move
rectilinearly as a result of attached density currents which occur along their inclined …

Active Brownian particles in a biased periodic potential

M Su, B Lindner - The European Physical Journal E, 2023 - Springer
We study transport properties of an active Brownian particle with an Rayleigh–Helmholtz
friction function in a biased periodic potential. In the absence of noise and depending on the …

Heat and mass transport from neutrally suspended oblate spheroid in simple shear flow

Through high-fidelity numerical simulation based on the lattice Boltzmann method, we have
conducted an in-depth study on the heat and mass transport from an oblate spheroid …

Accurate analytical calculation of the rate coefficient for the diffusion-controlled reactions due to hyperbolic diffusion

SD Traytak - The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2023 - pubs.aip.org
Using an approach based on the diffusion analog of the Cattaneo–Vernotte differential
model, we find the exact analytical solution to the corresponding time-dependent linear …
