The long wavelength diffusion coefficient of a critical fluid confined between two parallel plates separated by a distance L is strongly affected by the finite size. Finite size scaling leads us to expect that the vanishing of the diffusion…
Diffusion of particles through an heterogenous obstacle line is modeled as a two-dimensional diffusion problem with a one--directional nonlinear convective drift and is examined using two-scale asymptotic analysis. At the scale where the…

In this work, we analytically examine the validity of molecular dynamics for a soft potential system by considering a simple one-dimensional system with a piecewise continuous linear repulsive potential wall having a constant slope $a$. We…
We study tagged particle diffusion at large packing fractions, for a model of particles interacting with a generalized Lennard-Jones 2n-n potential, with large n. The resulting short-range potential mimics interactions in colloidal systems.…
One-dimensional non-equilibrium models of particles subjected to a coagulation-diffusion process are important in understanding non-equilibrium dynamics, and fluctuation-dissipation relation. We consider in this paper transport properties…
We have studied the conductance distribution function of two-dimensional disordered noninteracting systems in the crossover regime between the diffusive and the localized phases. The distribution is entirely determined by the mean…
Diffusion of particles in complex fluids and gels is difficult to describe and often lies beyond the scope of the classical Stokes-Einstein relation. One of the main lines of research over the past few decades has sought to relate…
Consider the time-dependent problem of mass transfer of a solute between two phases and assume that the solute is initially distributed in one phase (phase 2) and absent from the other (phase 1). We desire the fraction of total solute…

We investigate the dynamics of a single, overdamped colloidal particle, which is driven by a constant force through a one-dimensional periodic potential. We focus on systems with large barrier heights where the lowest-order cumulants of the…
We investigate numerically the blocking of two-dimensional bistable reaction diffusion fronts by geometric obstacles. Our goal is to derive quantitative criteria for front propagation in the presence of spatial heterogeneities. Using a…
We unravel the existence and nonequilibrium response of one-dimensional harmonically trapped droplet configurations in the presence of a central potential barrier or well. For fixed negative chemical potentials, it is shown that droplets…
Pattern formation in soft, active, and biological matter is described by two ostensibly distinct continuum frameworks: phase-field theories driven by chemical-potential gradients, and mass-conserving reaction-diffusion (McRD) dynamics…
We study the behaviour of the solutions of the stationary diffusion equation as a function of a possibly rough ($L^{\infty}$-) diffusivity. This includes the boundary behaviour of the solution maps, associating to each diffusivity the…
