Ideal bulk pressure of active Brownian particles

Ideal bulk pressure of active Brownian particles

The extent to which active matter might be described by effective equilibrium concepts like temperature and pressure is currently being discussed intensely. Here we study the simplest model, an ideal gas of non-interacting active Brownian particles. While the mechanical pressure exerted onto confining walls has been linked to correlations between …
