Relaxation Enhancement by Time-periodic Flows
We study enhancement of diffusive mixing by fast incompressible time-periodic flows. The class of relaxation-enhancing flows that are especially efficient in speeding up mixing has been introduced in [2]. The relaxation-enhancing property of a flow has been shown to be intimately related to the properties of the dynamical system it generates. In particular, time-independent flows u such that th...
متن کاملLong Time Behaviour of Periodic Stochastic Flows
We consider the evolution of a set carried by a space periodic incompressible stochastic flow in a Euclidean space. We report on three main results obtained in [8, 9, 10] concerning long time behaviour for a typical realization of the stochastic flow. First, at time t most of the particles are at a distance of order √ t away from the origin. Moreover, we prove a Central Limit Theorem for the ev...
متن کاملOrientation dynamics of weakly Brownian particles in periodic viscous flows.
Evolution equations for the orientation distribution of axisymmetric particles in periodic flows are derived in the regime of small but nonzero Brownian rotations. The equations are based on a multiple time scale approach that allows fast computation of the relaxation processes leading to statistical equilibrium. The approach has been applied to the calculation of the effective viscosity of a t...
متن کاملPolymer dynamics in time-dependent periodic potentials.
The dynamics of a discrete polymer in time-dependent external potentials is studied with the master equation approach. We consider both stochastic and deterministic switching mechanisms for the potential states and give the essential equations for computing the stationary-state properties of molecules with internal structure in time-dependent periodic potentials on a lattice. As an example, we ...
متن کاملBubble dynamics in DNA
The formation of local denaturation zones (bubbles) in double-stranded DNA is an important example for conformational changes of biological macromolecules. We study the dynamics of bubble formation in terms of a Fokker-Planck equation for the probability density to find a bubble of size n base pairs at time t, on the basis of the free energy in the Poland-Scheraga model. Characteristic bubble c...
