Single file diffusion (SFD) exhibits anomalously slow collective transport when particles are able to immobilize by binding and unbinding to the one-dimensional channel within which the particles diffuse. We have explored this system for…

The diffusion of a particle in a crowded environment typically proceeds through three regimes: for very short times the particle diffuses freely until it collides with an obstacle for the first time, while for very long times diffusion the…
We study a system of hard-core particles sliding downwards on a fluctuating one-dimensional surface which is characterized by a dynamical exponent $z$. In numerical simulations, an initially random particle density is found to coarsen and…
Diffusive transport is characterized by the scaling law $(length)^{2}\propto(time)$. In this letter we show that this relationship is significantly altered in curved analogue spacetimes. This circumstance provides an opportunity to tailor…

It is well known that on long time scales the behaviour of tracer particles diffusing in a cellular flow is effectively that of a Brownian motion. This paper studies the behaviour on "intermediate" time scales before diffusion sets in.…

We study the dynamic scaling properties of an aggregation model in which particles obey both diffusive and driven ballistic dynamics. The diffusion constant and the velocity of a cluster of size $s$ follow $D(s) \sim s^\gamma$ and $v(s)…
We analyze the dynamics of a tracer particle embedded in a bath of hard spheres confined in a channel of varying section. By means of Brownian dynamics simulations we apply a constant force on the tracer particle and discuss the dependence…
Particles transported in fluid flows, such as cells, polymers, or nanorods, are rarely spherical. In this study, we numerically and theoretically investigate the dispersion of an initially localized patch of passive elongated Brownian…
We consider a gas of point particles moving on the one-dimensional line with a hard-core inter-particle interaction that prevents particle crossings --- this is usually referred to as single-file motion. The individual particle dynamics can…
