Transport and dispersion of active particles in periodic porous media
Roberto Alonso-Matilla, Brato Chakrabarti, David Saintillan
The transport of self-propelled particles such as bacteria and phoretic swimmers through crowded heterogeneous environments is relevant to many natural and engineering processes, f…

Geometric control of active collective motion
Maxime Theillard, Roberto Alonso-Matilla, David Saintillan
Recent experimental studies have shown that confinement can profoundly affect self-organization in semi-dilute active suspensions, leading to striking features such as the formatio…

On the distribution and swim pressure of run-and-tumble particles in confinement
Barath Ezhilan, Roberto Alonso-Matilla, David Saintillan
The spatial and orientational distribution in a dilute active suspension of non-Brownian run-and-tumble spherical swimmers confined between two planar hard walls is calculated theo…
