Anisotropic swim stress in active matter with nematic order

Active Brownian particles (ABPs) transmit a swim pressure ${{\rm{\Pi }}}^{{\rm{swim}}}=n\zeta {D}^{{\rm{swim}}}$ to the container boundaries, where ζ is the drag coefficient, D ^swim is the swim diffusivity and n is the uniform bulk number density far from the container walls. In this work we extend...
