摘要:

我们提出了一种基于代理的主动柔性杆模型。受细胞骨架流动的启发,我们通过内部流动引入活动性,该流动对耗散力有所贡献。我们代理之间的主动力是中心的且相互的,确保了线性和角动量守恒。对于向列活动,我们发现自发的、无阈值的流动和随机的流动重定向,这伴随着拓扑缺陷的形成。缺陷出现和消失的速率取决于活动性,且+1/2缺陷自我推进。这些主动湍流的特征甚至在单个代理的尺度上也存在。基于粒子的相互作用导致密度和取向之间的涌现耦合,从而在+1/2缺陷周围生成密度偶极子。最后,我们通过展示三维中的自发流动和组织生长,突显了我们基于代理的模型的多功能性。我们的框架为活材料的综合描述开辟了道路,包括系统中多种形式的活动。

英文摘要:

We propose an agent-based model of active flexible rods. Inspired by cytoskeletal flows, we introduce activity by an internal flow that contributes to the dissipative forces. The active force between our agents is central and reciprocal, ensuring linear and angular momentum conservation. For nematic activity, we find spontaneous, thresholdless flows and stochastic flow-reorientation, which is accompanied by the formation of topological defects. Defects appear and vanish with activity-dependent rates, and $+1/2$-defects self-propel. These hallmarks of active turbulence are present even on the scale of individual agents. The particle-based interactions lead to an emergent coupling between density and orientation that generates density dipoles around $+1/2$-defects. Finally, we highlight the versatility of our agent-based model by presenting spontaneous flows in three dimensions and tissue growth. Our framework opens the way for an integrated description of living materials, including several forms of activity in the same system.
