Dumbbell transport and deflection in a spatially periodic potential.
We present theoretical results on the deterministic and stochastic motion of a dumbbell carried by a uniform flow through a three-dimensional spatially periodic potential. Depending on parameters like the flow velocity, there are two different kinds of movement: transport along a potential valley and a stair-like motion oblique to the potential trenches. The crossover between these two regimes,...

We present a numerical investigation of the Brownian motion and diffusion of a dumbbell in a two-dimensional periodic potential. Its dynamics is described by a Langevin model including the hydrodynamic interaction. With increasing values of the amplitude of the potential we find along the modulated spatial directions a reduction of the diffusion constant and of the impact of the hydrodynamic in...
متن کاملEntropy production of diffusion in spatially periodic deterministic systems.
This paper presents an ab initio derivation of the expression given by irreversible thermodynamics for the rate of entropy production for different classes of diffusive processes. The first class is Lorentz gases, where noninteracting particles move on a spatially periodic lattice, and collide elastically with fixed scatterers. The second class is periodic systems, where N particles interact wi...
متن کاملReaction-Diffusion Front Speeds in Spatially-Temporally Periodic Shear Flows
We study the asymptotics of two space dimensional reaction-diffusion front speeds through mean zero space-time periodic shears using both analytical and numerical methods. The analysis hinges on traveling fronts and their estimates based on qualitative properties such as monotonicity and a priori integral inequalities. The computation uses an explicit second order upwind finite difference metho...
متن کاملDiffusion in a Periodic Potential with a Local Perturbation
We consider the diffusion of a particle at X, in a drift field derived from a smooth potential of the form V+ B, where V is periodic and B is a bump of compact support. With no bump, B = 0, the mean squared displacement E(t) E]Xt--Xol2=D(V)t+C+O(e ~'), 2>0 , in any dimension. When B:~0, we establish in one dimension the asymptotic expansion E(t)= D(V)t + ~ x/7+ C+(1/~/7) E~_octn/t ~, ct#O, as t...
