DOI: 10.7566/jpsj.86.101009
Abstract: In this review, we discuss recent developments in the theoretical models of self-propelled particles. We first summarize simple models, including active Brownian particles (ABPs), squirmers, and Janus particles (self-phoretic swimmers). We then consider the extension… read more here.
