Using Brownian Dynamics simulations, we study effective interactions mediated between two identical and impermeable disks (inclusions) immersed in a bath of identical, active (self-propelled), Brownian rods in two spatial dimensions, by assuming that the self-propulsion axis of the rods may generally deviate from their longitudinal axis. When the self-propulsion is transverse (perpendicular to the rod axis), the accumulation of active rods around the inclusions is significantly enhanced…

Dimeric colloidal inclusion in a chiral active bath: Effective interactions and chirality-induced torque.
TLDR
This work studies the effects of channel confinement and bath chirality on the effective forces and torques that are mediated between two inclusions that may be fixed within the channel or may be allowed to rotate freely as a rigid dimer around its center of mass.

Effective interactions between inclusions in an active bath.
We study effective two- and three-body interactions between non-active colloidal inclusions in an active bath of chiral or non-chiral particles, using Brownian dynamics simulations within a standard,…
Confinement-induced alternating interactions between inclusions in an active fluid.
TLDR
Effective interactions mediated by a bath of active Brownian particles between two fixed, impenetrable, and disk-shaped inclusions in a planar (channel) confinement in two dimensions are studied.
Collective behavior of penetrable self-propelled rods in two dimensions.
TLDR
This work introduces a model for self-propelled rods in two dimensions that interact via a separation-shifted Lennard-Jones potential and describes a class of active systems that encompasses microswimmers close to a wall and filaments propelled on a substrate.
Effective interactions between inclusions in a chiral active bath inside a channel
Colloidal inclusions suspended in a bath of smaller particles experience an effective bath-mediated attraction at small intersurface separations, which is known as the depletion interaction. In an…
Effective interactions mediated between two permeable disks in an active fluid
TLDR
It is shown that a discontinuous motility field strongly affects spatial distribution of ABPs and thus also the effective interaction mediated between the inclusions through the active bath, and net interactions arise from soft interfacial repulsions between ABPs that sterically interact with and/or pass through permeable membranes assumed to enclose theInclusions.
An attraction-repulsion transition of force on wedges induced by active particles.
TLDR
Effective forces between two micro-wedges immersed in an active bath are investigated using Brownian dynamics simulations, and the optimal apex angle and particle density ρ* are characterized by the saturated trapping of active particles inside a wedge.
Active Brownian rods
Abstract Bacteria, chemically-driven rods, and motility assays are examples of active (i.e. self-propelled) Brownian rods (ABR). The physics of ABR, despite their ubiquity in experimental systems,…
Tunable long range forces mediated by self-propelled colloidal hard spheres.
TLDR
This work systematically study the effective interaction between two parallel hard walls in a 2D suspension of self-propelled (active) colloidal hard spheres, and finds that the effective force between two hard walls can be tuned from a long range repulsion into a longrange attraction by changing the density of active particles.
Active particles with polar alignment in ring-shaped confinement.
TLDR
A surface-population reversal effect is reported, whereby active particles migrate from the outer concave boundary of the annulus to accumulate on its inner convex boundary, implying stronger accumulation of active particles on concave boundaries relative to the convex ones.
Self-propelled rods near surfaces
We study the behavior of self-propelled nano- and micro-rods in three dimensions, confined between two parallel walls, by simulations and scaling arguments. Our simulations include thermal…
