چکیده
Axial diffusion in a two-dimensional channel of smoothly varying geometry can be approximately described as one-dimensional diffusion in the entropy potential with position-dependent effective diffusivity by means of the modified Fick-Jacobs equation. In this paper, Brownian dynamics simulations are used to study the range of applicability of such a description, as well as the accuracy of the expressions for the effective diffusivity proposed by different researchers.

Diffusion in the presence of cylindrical obstacles arranged in a square lattice analyzed with generalized Fick-Jacobs equation.
The generalized Fick-Jacobs equation is widely used to study diffusion of Brownian particles in three-dimensional tubes and quasi-two-dimensional channels of varying constraint geometry. We show how this equation can be applied to study the slowdown of unconstrained diffusion in the presence of obstacles. Specifically, we study diffusion of a point Brownian particle in the presence of identical...
متن کاملEntropic particle transport: higher-order corrections to the Fick-Jacobs diffusion equation.
Transport of point-size Brownian particles under the influence of a constant and uniform force field through a planar three-dimensional channel with smoothly varying, axis-symmetric periodic side walls is investigated. Here we employ an asymptotic analysis in the ratio between the difference of the widest and the most narrow constriction divided through the period length of the channel geometry...

This study focuses on the derivation of a general effective diffusion coefficient to describe the twodimensional (2D) diffusion in a narrow and smoothly asymmetric channel of varying width that lies on a curved surface, in the simple diffusional motion of noninteracting point-like particles under no external field. To this end we extend the generalization of the Kalinay-Percus’ projection metho...

This paper successfully applies the Adomian decomposition and the modified Laplace Adomian decomposition methods to find the approximate solution of a nonlinear fractional Volterra-Fredholm integro-differential equation. The reliability of the methods and reduction in the size of the computational work give these methods a wider applicability. Also, the behavior of the solution can be formall...
