Active Brownian Rods

Abstract

Here, I review the large-scale properties of collections of active Brownian elongated objects, in particular rods, moving in a dissipative medium/substrate. I address the problem by presenting three different models of decreasing complexity, which I refer to as model I, II, and III, respectively.
