Abstract
We study analytically and numerically the ratchet transport of interacting particles induced by a monochromatic driving in asymmetric two-dimensional structures. The ratchet flow is preserved in the limit of strong interactions and can become even stronger compared to the non-interacting case. The developed kinetic theory gives a good description of these two limiting regimes. The numerical data show emergence of turbulence in the ratchet flow under certain conditions.
