Active fluids exhibit spontaneous flows with complex spatiotemporal structure, which have
been observed in bacterial suspensions, sperm cells, cytoskeletal suspensions, self …

Active particles contain internal degrees of freedom with the ability to take in and dissipate
energy and, in the process, execute systematic movement. Examples include all living …

We review theoretical models of individual motility as well as collective dynamics and
pattern formation of active particles. We focus on simple models of active dynamics with a …

Thank you for opening the third edition of this monograph. The first edition [202] was
published in 1996 in the Lecture Notes in Control and Information Sciences series (vol. 220) …

Sand, rice, sugar, snow, cement... Although ubiquitous in our daily lives, granular media still
challenge engineers and fascinate researchers. This book provides the state-of-the-art of the …

Gas-solid fluidization technology has been commercialized in many industrial applications
since its implementation in the fluid catalytic cracking process in the early 1940s, however …

We review flows of dense cohesionless granular materials, with a special focus on the
question of constitutive equations. We first discuss the existence of a dense flow regime …

The deformation and flow of disordered solids, such as metallic glasses and concentrated
emulsions, involves swift localized rearrangements of particles that induce a long-range …

A fundamental understanding of the underlying physics of granular (particulate) systems is
not only of academic interest, but is also highly relevant for industrial applications …

Bacterial processes ranging from gene expression to motility and biofilm formation are
constantly challenged by internal and external noise. While the importance of stochastic …
