Abstract
[fr] The aim of this master's thesis is to implement and explore a specific model of confined active motion: the trapped Active Brownian model, with a focus on studying the resulting collective dynamics. The work will begin by implementing the standard ABP model in the absence of confinement. This initial step will be validated by comparing the simulation results with findings from the scientific literature, ensuring that the model reproduces the expected behaviors. Next, trapping mechanism will be introduced. The dynamics of a single particle within the trap will be characterized and compared to those observed in the unconfined case. Finally, the study will be extended to investigate the collective dynamics that emerge when multiple particles interact within the trap.
