Numerical Study of Non-equilibrium Phase Transitions in
Active Brownian Particles.

Abstract
In this report we present our work on athermal phase separation of active Brownian particles through Molecular
Dynamics simulations using a model by Merchetti et. al. We identified and characterized the solid-fluid phase
transitions taking place in the active system. We spent a significant amount of time in parallelizing the molecular
dynamics simulations which allowed us to work with larger system spending less time for computation. We investigated
various structural properties of the overall system and of the two co-existing phases through clustering
analysis. And finally we worked with active systems under confinement and showed that they behave differently
than that of their passive counterparts.
