Zusammenfassung
Motivated by aggregation and orientation phenomena in gliding bacteria, we study collective motion in a two-dimensional model of active, self-propelled rods interacting through volume exclusion. In simulations with individual particles, we find that particle clustering is facilitated by a sufficiently large packing fraction or length-to-width aspect ratio. We show that the transition to clustering is well captured by a mean-field which predicts that critical particle aspect ratio $\kappa_c$ that triggers clustering is a function of the packing fraction $\eta$ such that $\kappa_c = C/- 1$, where $C$ is a constant 1.
We also find that self-propelled particles interacting through a liquid crystal-alignment, as in the case of self-propelled rods, exhibit in two-dimensions a phase-transition to global orientational order which is highly dependent on particle density. We show that the interplay between clustering and orientation dynamics determines the type of phase-transition.

In simulations with individual particles, we find that particle clustering is facilitated by a sufficiently large packing fraction or length-to-width aspect ratio. We show that the transition to clustering is well captured by a mean-field which predicts that critical particle aspect ratio $\kappa_{c}$ that triggers clustering is a function of the packing fraction $\eta$ such that $\kappa_{c} = C/\eta - 1$, where $C$ is a constant [1].
