A colloidal particle driven by externally actuated rotation can self-propel parallel to a rigid boundary by exploiting the hydrodynamic coupling that surfaces induce between translation and rotation. As such a roller moves along the…
The diffusion of micro- and nanoswimmers in a fluid, confined within irregular structures that impose entropic barriers, is often modeled using overdamped active Brownian dynamics, where viscous effects are paramount and inertia is…
We use numerical simulations to examine two-dimensional particle mixtures that strongly phase separate in equilibrium. When the system is externally driven in the presence of quenched disorder, plastic flow occurs in the form of meandering…
We investigate the mechanisms by which inertial solid particles modulate turbulence and alter the fluid mass transport in dense turbulent liquid-solid flows. To this end, we perform Euler-Lagrange simulations at friction Reynolds number…
Density profiles are the most common measure of inhomogeneous structure in confined fluids, but their connection to transport coefficients is poorly understood. We explore via simulation how tuning particle-wall interactions to flatten or…
In this paper we report a novel inertial instability that occurs in electro-osmotically driven channel flows. We assume that the charge motion under the influence of an externally applied electric field is confined to a small vicinity of…
In industrial plants, pneumatic conveying systems are often used to convey particles from one location to another. Surprisingly, in bench-scale experiments, clusters of particles sometimes flow backward or upstream in the conveying channel.…
Over the past two decades scientists have achieved a significant improvement of our understanding of the transport of energetic particles across a mean magnetic field. Due to test-particle simulations as well as powerful non-linear…
We study the autophoretic motion of a spherical active particle interacting chemically and hydrodynamically with its fluctuating environment in the limit of rapid diffusion and slow viscous flow. Then, the chemical and hydrodynamic fields…
In gravel-bed rivers, bedload transport exhibits considerable variability in time and space. Recently, stochastic bedload transport theories have been developed to address the mechanisms and effects of bedload transport fluctuations.…
We investigate the dynamics of Brownian particles in internal state- dependent symmetric and periodic potentials. Although no space or time symmetry of the Hamiltonian is broken, we show that directed transport can appear. We demonstrate…
Energy transport in weakly collisional plasma systems is often studied with fluid models and diagnostics. However, the applicability of fluid models is necessarily limited when collisions are weak or absent, and using a fluid approach can…
The crossover from single-file diffusion, where the mean-square displacement scales as <x^2> ~t^(1/2), to normal Fickian diffusion, where <x^2>~t$, is studied as a function of channel width for colloidal particles. By comparing Brownian…
Recent studies have reported that an increase in the bottom drag coefficient can enhance the volume transport of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current. Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain this frictional control, including the…
Motivated by uncertainty quantification in natural transport systems, we investigate an individual-based transport process involving particles undergoing a random walk along a line of point sinks whose strengths are themselves independent…
The theory of electrokinetic ion transport in cylindrical channels of a fixed surface charge density is revisited. Attention is focused on impact of the hydrophobic slippage and mobility of adsorbed surface charges. We formulate generalised…
We describe simulations of a microscopic elastic filament immersed in a fluid and subject to a uniform external force. Our method accounts for the hydrodynamic coupling between the flow generated by the filament and the friction force it…
We show how to evaluate mobility profiles, characterizing the transport of confined fluids under a perturbation, from equilibrium molecular simulations. The correlation functions derived with the Green-Kubo formalism are difficult to sample…
The hydrodynamics of crystals with vacancies is developed on the basis of local-equilibrium thermodynamics, where the chemical potential of vacancies plays a key role together with a constraint relating the concentration of vacancies to the…
We study the translocation of polymers across varying-section channels. Using systematic approximations, we derive a simplified model that reduces the problem of polymer translocation through varying-section channels to that of a point-like…
