Using Activity to Compartmentalize Binary Mixtures

Nicholas J Lauersdorf, Ehssan Nazockdast, Daphne Klotsa

We computationally study suspensions of slow and fast active Brownian particles that have undergone motility induced phase separation and are at steady state. Such mixtures, of var…

Reciprocal swimming at intermediate Reynolds number

Nicholas J. Derr, Thomas Dombrowski, Chris H. Rycroft +1

In Stokes flow, Purcell's scallop theorem forbids objects with time-reversible (reciprocal) swimming strokes from moving. In the presence of inertia, this restriction is eased and…

Nonreciprocal model swimmer at intermediate Reynolds numbers

Hong Nguyen, Daphne Klotsa

Metachronal swimming, the sequential beating of limbs with a small phase lag, is observed in many organisms at various scales, but has been studied mostly in the limits of high or…

Dependence of phase behavior and surface tension on particle stiffness for active Brownian particles

Nicholas Lauersdorf, Thomas Kolb, Moslem Moradi +2

We study quasi two-dimensional, monodisperse systems of active Brownian particles (ABPs) for a range of activities, stiffnesses, and densities. We develop a microscopic, analytical…

Pairwise and collective behavior between model swimmers at intermediate Reynolds numbers

Thomas Dombrowski, Hong Nguyen, Daphne Klotsa

We computationally studied the pair interactions and collective behavior of asymmetric, dumbbell swimmers over a range of intermediate Reynolds numbers and initial configurations.…

Kinematics of a simple reciprocal model swimmer at intermediate Reynolds numbers

Thomas Dombrowski, Daphne Klotsa

We computationally study the kinematics of a simple model reciprocal swimmer (asymmetric dumbbell) as a function of the Reynolds number (Re) and investigate how the onset and gradu…
