Dynamics and phase separation of active Brownian particles on curved surfaces and in porous media

The effect of curvature on an ensemble of repulsive active Brownian particles (ABPs) moving on a spherical surface is studied. Surface curvature strongly affects the dynamics of ABPs, as it introduces a new time scale τ=R/v_{0}, with curvature radius R and propulsion velocity v_{0}, in addition to t...
