Coarse Graining Nonisothermal Microswimmer Suspensions

Coarse Graining Nonisothermal Microswimmer Suspensions

We investigate coarse-grained models of suspended self-thermophoretic microswimmers. Upon heating, the Janus spheres, with hemispheres made of different materials, induce a heterogeneous local solvent temperature that causes the self-phoretic particle propulsion. Starting from molecular dynamics sim...
