Orientation-dependent propulsion of active Brownian spheres: from self-advection to programmable cluster shapes
Stephan Bröker, Jens Bickmann, Michael te Vrugt +2
Applications of active particles require a method for controlling their dynamics. While this is typically achieved via direct interventions, indirect interventions based, e.g., on…
Jerky active matter: a phase field crystal model with translational and orientational memory
Michael te Vrugt, Julian Jeggle, Raphael Wittkowski
Most field theories for active matter neglect effects of memory and inertia. However, recent experiments have found inertial delay to be important for the motion of self-propelled…
Classical dynamical density functional theory: from fundamentals to applications
Michael te Vrugt, Hartmut Löwen, Raphael Wittkowski
Classical dynamical density functional theory (DDFT) is one of the cornerstones of modern statistical mechanics. It is an extension of the highly successful method of classical den…
Effects of social distancing and isolation on epidemic spreading: a dynamical density functional theory model
Michael te Vrugt, Jens Bickmann, Raphael Wittkowski
For preventing the spread of epidemics such as the coronavirus disease COVID-19, social distancing and the isolation of infected persons are crucial. However, existing reaction-dif…
Relations between angular and Cartesian orientational expansions
Michael te Vrugt, Raphael Wittkowski
Orientational expansions, which are widely used in the natural sciences, exist in angular and Cartesian form. Although these expansions are orderwise equivalent, it is difficult to…
Mori-Zwanzig projection operator formalism for systems with time-dependent Hamiltonians
Michael te Vrugt, Raphael Wittkowski
The Mori-Zwanzig projection operator formalism is a powerful method for the derivation of mesoscopic and macroscopic theories based on known microscopic equations of motion. It has…
