Brownian motion in shear flow: direct observation of anomalous diffusion.
Brownian motion in a simple shear flow has been experimentally investigated by using a different method for observation and analysis. A number of polystyrene spheres dispersed in sheared water were tracked with a confocal scanning laser microscope, and the time dependences of their coordinates were obtained. Since in the usual mean-square displacement in the flow direction the contribution from...
متن کاملDirect observation of brownian motion of lipids in a membrane.
Nanovid microscopy, which uses 30- to 40-nm colloidal gold probes combined with video-enhanced contrast, can be used to examine random and directed movements of individual molecules in the plasma membrane of living cells. To validate the technique in a model system, the movements of lipid molecules were followed in a supported, planar bilayer containing fluorescein-conjugated phosphatidylethano...
متن کاملPersistence of Brownian motion in a shear flow.
The persistence of a Brownian particle in a shear flow is investigated. The persistence probability P(t), which is the probability that the particle does not return to its initial position up to time t, is known to obey a power law P(t)∝t(-θ). Since the displacement of a particle along the flow direction due to convection is much larger than that due to Brownian motion, we define an alternative...
متن کاملDirect measurement of shear-induced cross-correlations of Brownian motion.
Shear-induced cross-correlations of particle fluctuations perpendicular and along streamlines are investigated experimentally and theoretically. Direct measurements of the Brownian motion of micron-sized beads, held by optical tweezers in a shear-flow cell, show a strong time asymmetry in the cross-correlation, which is caused by the non-normal amplification of fluctuations. Complementary measu...
متن کاملDirect numerical observation of anomalous diffusion in random media
We present computer simulations of anomalous diffusion, 〈r2(t)〉 ∼ at1−δ , in two dimensions. The Monte Carlo calculations are in excellent agreement with previous renormalization group calculations. Interestingly, use of a high-quality pseudorandom number generator is necessary to observe the anomalous diffusion. A linear-feedback, shift-register method leads to incorrect, superdiffusive motion...
