Modeling collective motion and pattern formation of self-propelled rods and application to myxobacteriaRobert Großmann1,2, Fernando Peruani1, and •Markus Bär21Universite de Nice, France — 2Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, Germany

We study self-propelled particles with nematic velocity-alignment in two dimensions, which reverse their direction of motion repeatedly. The large-scale properties of these point-like self-propelled rods are analyzed within a hydrodynamic theory that can be systematically derived from the microscopic dynamics. Combining analytical methods and numerical continuation, we show that an entire family of elongated high-density regions, called bands, self-segregates spontaneously from a homogeneous background via two subcritical bifurcations. The reduction of the multi-particle system onto the dynamics of bands provides a unified framework to understand aggregation mechanisms and nonequilibrium phase separation in active systems with nematic velocity-alignment, e. g. the collective dynamics of rod-shaped, actively moving myxobacteria.
