Diversity of self-propulsion speeds reduces motility-induced clustering in confined active matter
Pablo de Castro, Francisco M. Rocha, Saulo Diles +2
Self-propelled swimmers such as bacteria agglomerate into clusters as a result of their persistent motion. In 1D, those clusters do not coalesce macroscopically and the stationary…
Active mixtures in a narrow channel: Motility diversity changes cluster sizes
Pablo de Castro, Saulo Diles, Rodrigo Soto +1
The persistent motion of bacteria produces clusters with a stationary cluster size distribution (CSD). Here we develop a minimal model for bacteria in a narrow channel to assess th…
Run-and-tumble bacteria slowly approaching the diffusive regime
Andrea Villa-Torrealba, Cristóbal Chávez Raby, Pablo de Castro +1
The run-and-tumble (RT) dynamics followed by bacterial swimmers gives rise first to a ballistic motion due to their persistence, and later, through consecutive tumbles, to a diffus…
