Active particle scattering in structured and random environments — •Theresa Jakuszeit1, Samuel Bell2, and Ottavio A.

Active propulsion as performed by bacteria and Janus particles, in combination with hydrodynamic interaction at boundaries, can lead to the breaking of time reversibility. One typical example of this is the accumulation of bacteria on a flat wall. However, in microfluidic devices with pillars of sufficiently small radius, self-propelled particles can slide along the surface of a pillar without becoming trapped over long times. Using simulations and theory, we study the impact of different modes of obstacle interaction on the diffusive transport of active particles in a lattice of such obstacles. We find that sliding along obstacles can result in large diffusivities even at high obstacle density, unlike particles that undergo classical specular reflection, as in the Lorentz gas. We introduce a microscopically derived run-and-tumble model, which describes the macroscopic transport for different scattering rules very well, and test it in microfluidic channels for E.coli. Finally, we discuss the role of tumbling in structured and random environments.
