AI中文摘要：
我们研究低雷诺数下具有局部不可拉伸膜的主动驱动准球形囊泡的非线性形状动力学与自主推进特性。从斯托克斯流体动力学、线性化膜弹性和谐波主动驱动出发，我们基于球谐形变模式推导得到简化描述。由局部不可拉伸性强制的全局面积约束是动态非线性的唯一来源，它将动力学限制在形状空间的紧致流形中。自主推进通过非线性模式耦合产生，由形状空间中轨迹扫过的定向面积几何决定。对于两个主动模式，动力学简化为呈现同步、相位滑移和模式锁定的周期驱动相位方程；引入第三个主动模式则从根本上改变动力学，产生准周期不变环面与共振周期循环。重现诊断揭示了所得共振结构，而周期平均推进的波动为潜在形状动力学提供了可实验观测的特征。我们的结果表明，对于主动驱动囊泡，几何约束足以将原本的线性动力系统转化为呈现丰富非线性动力学的系统。
英文摘要：
We investigate the nonlinear shape dynamics and autonomous propulsion of actively driven quasi-spherical vesicles with locally inextensible membranes at low Reynolds number. Starting from Stokes hydrodynamics, linearized membrane elasticity, and harmonic active forcing, we derive a reduced description in terms of spherical harmonic deformation modes. The global area constraint enforced by local inextensibility is the sole source of dynamic nonlinearity. It confines the dynamics to compact manifolds in the space of possible shapes. Autonomous propulsion arises through nonlinear mode coupling and is determined geometrically by the oriented area swept by the trajectories in shape space. For two active modes, the dynamics reduces to a periodically driven phase equation exhibiting synchronization, phase slips, and mode locking. Introducing a third active mode fundamentally changes the dynamics, giving rise to quasiperiodic invariant tori and resonant periodic cycles. A recurrence diagnostic reveals the resulting resonance structure, while fluctuations of the cycle-averaged propulsion provide an experimentally accessible signature of the underlying shape dynamics. Our results demonstrate that, for actively driven vesicles, a geometric constraint is sufficient to transform an otherwise linear dynamical system into one exhibiting rich nonlinear dynamics.
