Run-and-tumble dynamics of self-propelled particles in confinement
Run-and-tumble dynamics is a wide-spread mechanism of swimming bacteria. The
accumulation of run-and-tumble microswimmers near impermeable surfaces is studied …

Directed autonomous motion and chiral separation of self-propelled Janus particles in convection roll arrays
Self-propelled Janus particles exhibit autonomous motion thanks to engines of their own.
However, due to the randomly changing direction of such motion they are of little use for …

Can the self-propulsion of anisotropic microswimmers be described by using forces and torques?
The self-propulsion of artificial and biological microswimmers (or active colloidal particles)
has often been modelled by using a force and a torque entering into the overdamped …

Sorting and extraction of self-propelled chiral particles by polarized wall currents
The dynamics of self-propelled particles with curved trajectories is investigated. Two modes
are observed, a bulk mode with a quasicircular motion and a surface mode with the particles …
