Active rod-like particles suspension in non-homogenoeus system: The effect of active motion and flow/rod coupling
Abstract
This study explores active Brownian rods in simple shear flow, examining the influence of selfpropulsion (P es), rotary diffusion (P er), and translational diffusion (P e ⊥ ). We observe these rods accumulating near walls, aligning with the flow direction, with more pronounced effects at higher P es and P e ⊥ , and lower P er. Furthermore, we examine the impact of particle extra stress in simple shear flows, observing shear banding and rheological changes. These findings enhance our understanding of complex effect created by active particles.
