Distribution Functions and Moments of Harmonically Trapped Inertial Run-and-Tumble Particles in a Shear-Thickening Medium
We study the dynamics of an athermal inertial active particle confined in a harmonic potential and moving through shear-thickening media in one dimension. The activity is modeled using a symmetric dichotomous noise of strength $\Sigma$ and flipping rate $\lambda$, which mimics a run-and-tumble particle. The shear-thick...
