Deterministic particle transport in a ratchet flow.
This study is motivated by the issue of the pumping of particle through a periodic modulated channel. We focus on a simplified deterministic model of small inertia particles within the Stokes flow framework that we call "ratchet flow." A path-following method is employed in the parameter space in order to retrace the scenario which from bounded periodic solutions leads to particle transport. De...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Particle Transport in a Drift Ratchet
The directed transport of micro-particles depending on their size is the basis for particle sorting methods that are of utmost importance in life sciences, e.g. A drift ratchet is a Brownian motor that allows for such a directed transport. Hereby, the particle motion is induced by a combination of the Brownian motion and asymmetries stemming for example from the domain’s geometry, electrical fi...
متن کاملCollective particle transport in a peristaltic ratchet system
We consider particles with repulsive nearest-neighbor interactions in a periodically modulated tilted-sine potential as a model for a peristaltic ratchet system. Using the Markov chain approach to kinetics (MCAK), the collective transport behavior is investigated with respect to the modulation period, interaction strength, and applied mechanical bias (tilt amplitude). In the stationary state, a...
متن کاملDeterministic microfluidic ratchet.
We present a deterministic, nonthermal ratchet where the trajectory of particles in a certain size range is not reversible when the sign of the pressure gradient is reversed at a low Reynolds number. This effect is produced by employing triangular rather than the conventional circular posts in an array that selectively displaces particles transported through the array. The ratchet irreversibly ...
