Coupled self-organized hydrodynamics and Stokes models for suspensions of active particles (Q1734986)

The principal goal of this work is to provide a mean-field description of the motion of crowded swimmers (e.g. microalgae), which move in a viscous fluid. The consideration is started from the individual-based model (in the Stratonovich stochastic representation) coupled with the viscous fluid follow Stokes equations supplied with the medium-based Vicsek coupling. The latter takes into account effects on the agents' velocity and orientation as well as an effect of the agents on the fluid (drag and self-propulsion forces). Further, the macroscopic ``Self-organised hydrodynamics-Stokes model'' is considered, and, finally, a mean-field model is derived and analysed from the point of view of linear stability analysis.
