TLDR
In this article, a basic kinetic model for a suspension of self-propelled rod-like particles and its stability and nonlinear dynamics are discussed. And extensions of this model to analyze the effective rheology of active suspensions in external flows, the effect of steric interactions in concentrated systems, and the dynamics of chemotactically responsive suspensions in chemical fields.About:

Physics of microswimmers--single particle motion and collective behavior: a review.
TL;DR: The physics of locomotion of biological and synthetic microswimmers, and the collective behavior of their assemblies, are reviewed and the hydrodynamic aspects of swimming are addressed.

Physics of Microswimmers - Single Particle Motion and Collective Behavior
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the physics of locomotion of biological and synthetic microswimmers, and the collective behavior of their assemblies, including synchronization and the concerted beating of flagella and cilia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emergent behavior in active colloids
TL;DR: Active colloids are microscopic particles which self-propel through viscous fluids by converting energy extracted from their environment into directed motion as discussed by the authors, where artificial microswimmers move forward by generating near-surface flow fields via self-phoresis or the self-induced Marangoni effect.
Journal ArticleDOI
Active matter at the interface between materials science and cell biology
TL;DR: This Review discusses how active matter concepts are important for understanding cell biology, and how the use of biochemical components enables the creation of new inherently non-equilibrium materials with unique properties that have so far been mostly restricted to living organisms.
Journal Article
Collective motion and density fluctuations in bacterial colonies
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report simultaneous measurements of the positions, velocities, and orientations of up to a thousand wild-type Bacillus subtilis bacteria in a colony.

The motion of ellipsoidal particles immersed in a viscous fluid
TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the case of particles of ellipsoidal shape, and showed that the condition for the validity of this approximation is that the product of the velocity of the ellipssoid by its linear dimensions shall be small compared with the "kinematic coefficient, of viscosity" of the fluid.
