Brownian transport in corrugated channels with inertia.
Transport of suspended Brownian particles dc driven along corrugated narrow channels is numerically investigated in the regime of finite damping. We show that inertial corrections cannot be neglected as long as the width of the channel bottlenecks is smaller than an appropriate particle diffusion length, which depends on the the channel corrugation and the drive intensity. With such a diffusion...
متن کاملDriven motion of colloids in active microrheology
In active microrheology, a strong external force is applied to a colloidal probe immersed in a complex fluid, so that among other quantities the nonlinear force-velocity relation can be measured. It provides information on the local viscoelastic properties of the complex fluid or soft solid. Generally, in dense fluids, the probe’s friction coefficient decreases strongly with increasing force [1...
متن کاملHydrodynamic interactions in active colloidal crystal microrheology.
In dense colloids it is commonly assumed that hydrodynamic interactions do not play a role. However, a found theoretical quantification is often missing. We present computer simulations that are motivated by experiments where a large colloidal particle is dragged through a colloidal crystal. To qualify the influence of long-ranged hydrodynamics, we model the setup by conventional Langevin dynam...
متن کاملActive steering along corrugated surfaces
To date, research on the visual control of locomotion, or optic flow, has been treated largely as a computational problem wherein formal descriptions are sought to character-ise the change in the image pattern on the retina that results from observer translation with concomitant eye rotation (se Lappe et al 1999, for details). Various models have been proposed (see Hildreth and Royden 1998, for...
متن کاملActive microrheology in a colloidal glass.
We study the dynamics of a probe particle driven by a constant force through a colloidal glass of hard spheres. This nonequilibrium and anisotropic problem is investigated using a new implementation of the mode-coupling approximation with multiple relaxation channels and Langevin dynamics simulations. A force threshold is found, below which the probe remains localized, while above it the probe ...
