Influence of obstacles on the collective motion of self-propelled particles forming traveling bands
The influence of regularly distributed disk-like obstacles on the motionof self-propelled particles is investigated within the framework of the Vicsek model. We focus on systems with a large number of self-propelled particles that form ordered structures such as traveling bands. The obstacles are arranged in a square lattice. We investigate the influence of their size and their separation on the formation and stability of ordered patterns of moving particles. We have discovered new structures stabilized by different arrangements of obstacles.
