Statistical mechanics of active Ornstein-Uhlenbeck particles

D Martin, J O'Byrne, ME Cates, É Fodor, C Nardini… - Physical Review E, 2021 - APS
We study the statistical properties of active Ornstein-Uhlenbeck particles (AOUPs). In this
simplest of models, the Gaussian white noise of overdamped Brownian colloids is replaced …

Collective forces in scalar active matter

T Speck - Soft Matter, 2020 - pubs.rsc.org
Large-scale collective behavior in suspensions of active particles can be understood from
the balance of statistical forces emerging beyond the direct microscopic particle interactions …

Mechanical theory of nonequilibrium coexistence and motility-induced phase separation

AK Omar, H Row, SA Mallory… - Proceedings of the …, 2023 - National Acad Sciences
Nonequilibrium phase transitions are routinely observed in both natural and synthetic
systems. The ubiquity of these transitions highlights the conspicuous absence of a general …

Microscopic origins of the swim pressure and the anomalous surface tension of active matter

AK Omar, ZG Wang, JF Brady - Physical Review E, 2020 - APS
The unique pressure exerted by active particles—the “swim” pressure—has proven to be a
useful quantity in explaining many of the seemingly confounding behaviors of active …

Active phase separation: new phenomenology from non-equilibrium physics

ME Cates, C Nardini - arxiv preprint arxiv:2412.02854, 2024 - arxiv.org
In active systems, whose constituents have non-equilibrium dynamics at local level, fluid-
fluid phase separation is widely observed. Examples include the formation of membraneless …

Time-reversal symmetry breaking in two-dimensional nonequilibrium viscous fluids

JM Epstein, KK Mandadapu - Physical review E, 2020 - APS
We study the rheological signatures of departure from equilibrium in two-dimensional
viscous fluids with and without internal spin. Under the assumption of isotropy, we provide …

Free and enclosed inertial active gas

M Sandoval - Soft Matter, 2023 - pubs.rsc.org
In this work, the free expansion of an inertial active gas in three dimensions made of
spherical non-interactive active Brownian particles with both translational and rotational …

Motility-induced phase separation of self-propelled soft inertial disks

S De Karmakar, R Ganesh - Soft Matter, 2022 - pubs.rsc.org
The phase diagram of the phenomenon of motility-induced phase separation (MIPS) for a
collection of self-propelled interacting disks over a large inertial range is explored using …

Inertial effects on trapped active matter

LL Gutierrez-Martinez, M Sandoval - The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2020 - pubs.aip.org
In this work, the dynamics of inertial (mass and moment of inertia) active Brownian particles
trapped in a harmonic well is studied. This scenario has seen success when characterizing …

Hydrodynamics of simple active liquids: the emergence of velocity correlations

UMB Marconi, L Caprini, A Puglisi - New Journal of Physics, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We derive the hydrodynamics for a system of N active, spherical, underdamped particles,
interacting through conservative forces. At the microscopic level, we represent the evolution …
