Replication Data for: Mean first passage time of chiral active Brownian particles

Listed in Borealis

Chiral active Brownian particles (CABPs) are self-propelled agents with intrinsic rotational dynamics, giving rise to circular trajectories commonly observed in biological and synthetic microswimmers.

Description

Understanding how CABPs explore confined environments and locate targets is crucial for describing transport, search efficiency, and reaction processes in physical and biological systems. In the associated article, "Mean first passage time of chiral active Brownian particles", we study the escape dynamics of CABPs from one- and two-dimensional confined domains.

In one dimension, we consider intervals with either two absorbing boundaries or a reflecting boundary on one side and an absorbing boundary on the other, and derived closed-form asymptotic solutions in the high-chirality regime, revealing the quantitative scaling of the MFPT as a function of chirality. In two dimensions, we analyze escape from a disk containing one absorbing arc or two symmetric absorbing arcs. By numerically solving the governing partial differential equations, we compute the MFPT for CABPs to escape the domains as a function of the particle’s initial orientation, self-propulsion speed, angular velocity, and domain geometry.

Our results show that, depending on the parameters and geometry, the MFPT can exhibit non-monotonic behavior as a function of chirality, with a minimum at an intermediate chirality. This establishes the existence of an optimal chirality that minimizes the escape time and identifies chirality as a key control parameter for transport and search in confined physical and biological systems. This repository contains the code required to reproduce the results and figures presented in the article “Mean first passage time of chiral active Brownian particles”.
