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 Brownian transport through arrays of symmetric obstacles.
We numerically investigate the transport of a suspended overdamped Brownian particle which is driven through a two-dimensional rectangular array of circular obstacles with finite radius. Two limiting cases are considered in detail, namely, when the constant drive is parallel to the principal or the diagonal array axes. This corresponds to studying the Brownian transport in periodic channels wit...
متن کاملPressure-driven transport of confined DNA polymers in fluidic channels.
The pressure-driven transport of individual DNA molecules in 175-nm to 3.8-microm high silica channels was studied by fluorescence microscopy. Two distinct transport regimes were observed. The pressure-driven mobility of DNA increased with molecular length in channels higher than a few times the molecular radius of gyration, whereas DNA mobility was practically independent of molecular length i...
متن کاملQuickest Search over Brownian Channels
In this paper we resolve an open problem proposed by [9]. Consider a sequence of Brownian Motions with unknown drift equal to one or zero, which may be observed one at a time. We give a procedure for finding, as quickly as possible, a process which is a Brownian Motion with nonzero drift. This original quickest search problem, in which the filtration itself is dependent on the observation strat...
متن کاملBrownian dynamics study of ion transport in the vestibule of membrane channels.
Brownian dynamics simulations have been carried out to study the transport of ions in a vestibular geometry, which offers a more realistic shape for membrane channels than cylindrical tubes. Specifically, we consider a torus-shaped channel, for which the analytical solution of Poisson's equation is possible. The system is composed of the toroidal channel, with length and radius of the constrict...
