Pushing run-and-tumble particles through a rugged channel

Abstract

We analyze the case of run-and-tumble particles pushed through a rugged channel both in the continuum and on the lattice. The current characteristic is non-monotone in the external field with (1) the appearance of a current and nontrivial density profile even at zero field for asymmetric obstacles, (2) the current decreasing with persistence at small field and increasing with persistence at large field. Activity in terms of self-propulsion increases the maximal current and postpones dying. We give an effective theoretical description with wider validity.
