1. Results for random clusters.
Results for random clusters. Random aggregates composed of 100 identical spherical beads with kf = 1.2 (red squares) and 2.3 (gray circles) generated with PC aggregation algorithm. Empty symbols stand for a mean value averaged over 300 configurations, bars correspond to SD from the mean, and full symbols denote the maximum values. (A) Longitudinal rotation anisotropy parameter, p. (B) Transverse anisotropy parameter, ε. (C) Maximum propulsion efficiency, δmax. (D) Three individual aggregates labeled in (B) and (C): ε ≈ 0.24 (cluster #1), δmax = (cluster #2), and δmax = (cluster #3).
