We consider a single species reaction diffusion system on a two dimensional lattice where the particles $A$ are biased to move towards their nearest neighbours and annihilate as they meet; $A + A \to \emptyset$. Allowing the bias to take…
We analyze the scaling limits (hydrodynamic limit/propagation of local equilibrium) of two particle systems in the discrete one-dimensional segment where the left boundary is in contact with a reservoir, which may stow any (finite) number…
We consider a quantum particle coupled (with strength $\la$) to a spatial array of independent non-interacting reservoirs in thermal states (heat baths). Under the assumption that the reservoir correlations decay exponentially in time, we…
We consider a kinetic model whose evolution is described by a Boltzmann-like equation for the one-particle phase space distribution $f(x,v,t)$. There are hard-sphere collisions between the particles as well as collisions with randomly fixed…
Fluids confined to quasi-one-dimensional channels exhibit a dynamic crossover from single file diffusion to normal diffusion as the channel becomes wide enough for particles to hop past each other. In the crossover regime, where hopping…
We study interacting particle systems on the real line which generalize the Hammersley process [D. Aldous and P. Diaconis, Prob. Theory Relat. Fields 103, 199-213 (1995)]. Particles jump to the right to a randomly chosen point between their…
This article presents a new approach to the dynamics of a particle system, divided into two distinct microstates spreading out in a homogeneous medium. The particles belonging to the main microstate spread according to classical Fick's law…
The periodic Lorentz gas is a paradigmatic model to examine how macroscopic transport emerges from microscopic chaos. It consists of a triangular lattice of circular hard scatterers with a moving point particle. Recently this system became…
We study a conserved mass aggregation model with mass-dependent fragmentation in one dimension. In the model, the whole mass $m$ of a site isotropically diffuse with unit rate. With rate $\omega$, a mass $m^{\lambda}$ is fragmented from the…
Convection in planets and stars is predicted to occur in the "ultimate regime'' of diffusivity-free, rapidly rotating turbulence, in which flows are characteristically unaffected by viscous and thermal diffusion. Boundary layer diffusion,…
We consider transport diffusion in a stochastic billiard in a random tube which is elongated in the direction of the first coordinate (the tube axis). Inside the random tube, which is stationary and ergodic, non-interacting particles move…
We study the stationary non-local equation which corresponds to the energy functional of a one-dimensional Ising spin system, in which particles interact via a Kac potential. The boundary conditions share the same sign and both lie above…
We investigate single-particle diffusion in a two-state Langevin model where the friction coefficient randomly switches between low-friction (liquid-like) and high-friction (glassy-like) states. The dynamics are governed by the ratio…
A microscopic model of the effect of unbinding in diffusion limited aggregation based on a cellular automata approach is presented. The geometry resembles electrochemical deposition - ``ions'' diffuse at random from the top of a container…
Diffusion is a fundamental physical phenomenon with critical applications in fields such as metallurgy, cell biology, and population dynamics. While standard diffusion is well-understood, anomalous diffusion often requires complex non-local…
The exclusion process in which particles may jump any distance l>=1 with the probability that decays as l^-(1+sigma) is studied from coarse-grained equation for density profile in the limit when the lattice spacing goes to zero. For…
Recently, the intrinsic sampling method has been developed in order to obtain, from molecular simulations, the intrinsic structure of the liquid-vapor interface that is presupposed in the classical capillary wave theory. Our purpose here is…
We consider the overdamped dynamics of a paradigmatic long-range system of particles residing on the sites of a one-dimensional lattice, in the presence of thermal noise. The internal degree of freedom of each particle is a periodic…
We study a class of one-dimensional interacting particle systems with random boundaries as a microscopic model for Stefan's melting and freezing problem. We prove that under diffusive rescaling these particle systems exhibit a hydrodynamic…
Consider a massive (inert) particle impinged from above by N Brownian particles that are instantaneously reflected upon collision with the inert particle. The velocity of the inert particle increases due to the influence of an external…
