Confined Catalytic Janus Swimmers in a Crowded Channel: Geometry-Driven Rectification Transients and Directional Locking.
Self-propelled Janus particles, acting as microscopic vehicles, have the potential to perform complex tasks on a microscopic scale, suitable, e.g., for environmental applications, on-chip chemical information processing, or in vivo drug delivery. Development of these smart nanodevices requires a better understanding of how synthetic swimmers move in crowded and confined environments that mimic ...
متن کاملSuperdiffusion in a model for diffusion in a molecularly crowded environment.
We present a model for diffusion in a molecularly crowded environment. The model consists of random barriers in a percolation network. Random walks in the presence of slowly moving barriers show normal diffusion for long times but anomalous diffusion at intermediate times. The effective exponents for square distance vs time usually are below one at these intermediate times, but they can also be...
متن کاملDrag Reduction by Surfactant Solutions in Gravity Driven Flow Systems
Efflux time measurements are carried out for gravity draining of a liquid from a large cylindrical tank (where the flow is essentially laminar) through single exit pipe in the absence and presence of Cetyl Pyridinium Chloride (CPC) surfactant solutions. The variables considered are initial height of liquid in the tank, dia. of tank, length of the exit pipe and concentration of surfactant. T...
متن کاملTransport in active systems crowded by obstacles
The reactive and diffusive dynamics of a single chemically powered Janusmotor in a crowded medium of moving but passive obstacles is investigated using molecular simulation. It is found that the reaction rate of the catalytic motor reaction decreases in a crowded medium as the volume fraction of obstacles increases as a result of a reduction in the Smoluchowski diffusion-controlled reaction rat...
متن کاملSuperdiffusion and non-Gaussian statistics in a driven-dissipative 2D dusty plasma.
Anomalous diffusion and non-Gaussian statistics are detected experimentally in a two-dimensional driven-dissipative system. A single-layer dusty plasma suspension with a Yukawa interaction and frictional dissipation is heated with laser radiation pressure to yield a structure with liquid ordering. Analyzing the time series for mean-square displacement, superdiffusion is detected at a low but st...
