Hydrodynamically enforced entropic trapping of Brownian particles.
We study the transport of Brownian particles through a corrugated channel caused by a force field containing curl-free (scalar potential) and divergence-free (vector potential) parts. We develop a generalized Fick-Jacobs approach leading to an effective one-dimensional description involving the potential of mean force. As an application, the interplay of a pressure-driven flow and an oppositely...
متن کاملGiant enhancement of hydrodynamically enforced entropic trapping in thin channels
Using our generalized Fick-Jacobs approach [1,2] and extensive Brownian dynamics simulations, we study particle transport through three-dimensional periodic channels of different height. Directed motion is caused by the interplay of constant bias acting along the channel axis and a pressure-driven flow. The tremendous change of the flow profile shape in channel direction with the channel height...
متن کاملTrapping of finite-sized Brownian particles in porous media
It is shown that the trapping of finite-sized spherical Brownian particles of radius /3R in a system of interpenetrable spherical traps of radius R is isomorphic to the trapping of “point” Brownian particles (p = 0) in a particular system of interpenetrable spherical traps of radius ( 1 + p> R. This isomorphism in conjunction with previous trapping-rate data for fl= 0 is employed to compute the...
متن کاملBrownian Entropic Repulsion
We consider one-dimensional Brownian motion conditioned (in a suitable sense) to have a local time at every point and at every moment bounded by some fixed constant. Our main result shows that a phenomenon of entropic repulsion occurs: that is, this process is ballistic and has an asymptotic velocity approximately 4.58.. . as high as required by the conditioning (the exact value of this constan...
متن کاملDynamic simulation of hydrodynamically interacting particles
A general method for computing the hydrodynamic interactions among N suspended particles, under the condition of vanishingly small particle Reynolds number, is presented. The method accounts for both near-field lubrication effects and the dominant many-body interactions. The many-body hydrodynamic interactions reproduce the screening characteristic of porous media and the ‘effective viscosity ’...
