Advection-dispersion in symmetric field-flow fractionation channels
نویسندگان
چکیده
We model the evolution of the concentration field of macromolecules in a symmetric field-flow fractionation (FFF) channel by a onedimensional advection-diffusion equation. The coefficients are precisely determined from the fluid dynamics. This model gives quantitative predictions of the time of elution of the molecules and the width in time of the concentration pulse. The model is rigorously supported by centre manifold theory. Errors of the derived model are quantified for improved predictions if necessary. The advection-diffusion equation is used to find that the optimal condition in a symmetric FFF for the separation of two species of molecules with similar diffusivities involves a high rate of cross-flow.

In this work, we carry out self –similar solutions of viscous-resistive accretion flows around a magnetized compact object. We consider an axi-symmetric, rotating, isothermal steady accretion flow, which contains a poloidal magnetic field of the central star. The dominant mechanism of energy dissipation is assumed to be the turbulence viscosity and magnetic diffusivity due to the magnetic field...
متن کاملDistinguishing Advection, Dispersion, and Diffusion in Fractured Bedrock
Mass spreading of non-reactive tracers in fractured bedrock can be described by a combination of molecular diffusion, hydrodynamic dispersion, and heterogeneous advection. These spreading mechanisms are fundamentally different in their behavior and, therefore, must be measured separately for reliable predictions of transport to be made. To separate the influence of these mechanisms, to the exte...

[1] Characterizing the collective behavior of particle transport on the Earth surface is a key ingredient in describing landscape evolution. We seek equations that capture essential features of transport of an ensemble of particles on hillslopes, valleys, river channels, or river networks, such as mass conservation, superdiffusive spreading in flow fields with large velocity variation, or retar...
