Enhanced diffusion and ordering of self-propelled rods
Aparna Baskaran, M. Cristina Marchetti
Starting from a minimal physical model of self propelled hard rods on a substrate in two dimensions, we derive a modified Smoluchowski equation for the system. Self -propulsion enh…

Isotropic-Cholesteric Transition of a Weakly Chiral Elastomer Cylinder
Xiangjun Xing, Aparna Baskaran
When a chiral isotropic elastomer is brought to low temperature cholesteric phase, the nematic degree of freedom tends to order and form a helix. Due to the nemato-elastic coupling…

Hydrodynamics of self-propelled hard rods
Aparna Baskaran, M. Cristina Marchetti
Motivated by recent simulations and by experiments on aggregation of gliding bacteria, we study a model of the collective dynamics of self-propelled hard rods on a substrate in two…
