Hydrodynamic stresses in a multi-species suspension of active Janus colloids (2502.07744v1)

Published 11 Feb 2025 in cond-mat.stat-mech and cond-mat.soft

Abstract: A realistic description of active particles should include interactions with the medium, commonly a momentum-conserving simple fluid, in which they are suspended. In this work, we consider a multi-species suspension of self-diffusiophoretic Janus colloids interacting via chemical and hydrodynamic fields. Through a systematic coarse-graining of the microscopic dynamics, we calculate the multi-component contribution to the hydrodynamic stress tensor of the incompressible Stokesian fluid in which the particles are immersed. For a single species, we find that the strength of the stress produced by the gradients of the number density field is determined by the particles' self-propulsion and chemotactic alignment, and can be tuned to be either contractile or extensile. For a multi-species system, we unveil how different forms of activity modify the stress tensor, and how non-reciprocity in hydrodynamic interactions emerges in an active binary mixture.
