Abstract

It has been discovered that active matter generates novel physical quantities such as the swim pressure. This quantity arises from the exchange of extra momentum between active particles and the boundaries of the system. Given its origin, this quantity can exist at different scales; hence microorganisms and larger organisms like fish or birds generate their own swim pressure. For larger organisms or for high swimming speeds, inertia cannot necessarily be neglected; hence in this paper, we start by calculating analytically the effect of finite translational and rotational particles' inertia on the diffusion of a system of noninteracting spherical active Brownian particles. From this analysis, an enhanced diffusion coefficient due to rotational inertia is obtained, and an alternative effective persistence length and an alternative reorientation time, both sensitive to rotational inertia, are also identified. Afterwards, and to see the implications of finite inertia on bulk properties, the pressure of this system is elucidated by calculating its respective swim and Reynolds pressures. It is found that their sum becomes asymptotically sensitive to the square root of its rotational inertia. To validate our analytical results, Langevin dynamics simulations are also performed showing an excellent agreement between our theoretical predictions and the numerical results.
