Problems of particle dynamics involving unsteady Stokes flows in confined geometries are typically harder to solve than their steady counterparts. Approximation techniques are often the only resort. Felderhof (see e.g. 2005, 2009b) has…

There remains a useful relation between diffusion and mobility for a Langevin particle in a periodic medium subject to nonconservative forces. The usual fluctuation-dissipation relation easily gets modified and the mobility matrix is no…
We consider a diffusion in $\mathbb{R}^n$ whose coordinates each behave as one-dimensional Brownian motions, that behave independently when apart, but have a sticky interaction when they meet. The diffusion in $\mathbb{R}^n$ can be viewed…
