Description

Recent empirical work has characterized motile oil droplets-small, self-propelled oil droplets whose active surface chemistry moves them through their aqueous environment. Previous work has evaluated in detail the fluid dynamics underlying the motility of these droplets. This paper introduces a new computational model that is used to evaluate the behaviour of these droplets as a form of viability-based adaptive self-preservation, whereby (i) the mechanism of motility causes motion towards the...
