Giant negative mobility of Janus particles in a corrugated channel.
We numerically simulate the transport of elliptic Janus particles along narrow two-dimensional channels with reflecting walls. The self-propulsion velocity of the particle is oriented along either its major (prolate) or minor axis (oblate). In smooth channels, we observe long diffusion transients: ballistic for prolate particles and zero diffusion for oblate particles. Placed in a rough channel...
متن کاملDiffusion of chiral Janus particles in a sinusoidal channel
We investigated the transport diffusivity of artificial microswimmers, a.k.a. Janus particles, in the absence of external biases. We considered the case of chiral Janus particles moving either in the bulk or in sinusoidal channels with reflecting walls. Their self-diffusion constants turned out to depend on both the strength and the chirality of the self-propulsion mechanism. More importantly, ...
متن کاملNumerical Investigation of Heat Transfer and Pressure Drop in a Corrugated Channel
The influence of variation in rib-height to channel-height ratio (e/H) on the heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics inside a channel with corrugated upper and lower plates was investigated numerically in the present study. The governing equations were solved by using finite volume approximations for a wide range of (0.06 < e/H < 0.26) and Reynolds numbers (5400 < Re < 23000), with a m...
متن کاملTwo-layer flow in a corrugated channel
The flow of two superposed viscous fluid layers in a two-dimensional channel confined between a plane and a wavy or indented wall is studied by analytical and numerical methods at arbitrary Reynolds numbers. The interface between the two fluids may exhibit constant or variable surface tension due to an insoluble surfactant. The flow is computed from a specified initial condition using the immer...
