We present a Langevin approach to describe the steady-state dynamics of one-dimensional granular media fluidized by a vibrating bottom plate. We adopt a linear Langevin equation to describe the motion of the center of mass. Within this…
Diffusion in a multidimensional energy surface with minima and barriers is a problem of importance in statistical mechanics and also has wide applications, such as protein folding. To understand it in such a system, we carry out theory and…
The present research is devoted to the problem of stability of the fluid flow moving in a channel with flexible walls and interacting with the walls, which are subject to traveling waves. Experimental data shows that the energy of the…
We study the motion of an active Brownian particle (ABP) using overdamped Langevin dynamics on a two-dimensional substrate with periodic array of obstacles and in a quasi-one-dimensional corrugated channel comprised of periodically arrayed…
We investigate the transport dynamics of elongated particles in cellular vortical flows that undergo spatial oscillations over time. Experimental flow visualizations reveal mixed flow fields with chaotic and elliptic regions coexisting.…
We investigate the particle trajectories in an irrotational shallow water flow over a flat bed as periodic waves propagate on the water's free surface. Within the linear water wave theory, we show that there are no closed orbits for the…
Unlike equilibrium systems, active matter is not governed by the conventional laws of thermodynamics. Through a series of analytic calculations and Langevin dynamics simulations, we explore how systems cross over from equilibrium to active…
When two spherical particles submerged in a viscous fluid are subjected to an oscillatory flow, they align themselves perpendicular to the direction of the flow leaving a small gap between them. The formation of this compact structure is…
We investigate a class of simple models for Langevin dynamics of turbulent flows, including the one-layer quasi-geostrophic equation and the two-dimensional Euler equations. Starting from a path integral representation of the transition…
Optical micro-manipulation techniques has evolved into powerful tools to efficiently steer the motion of microscopical particles on periodic and quasi-periodic potentials, driven by the external electromagnetic field. Here, the dynamics of…
We consider a driven tracer particle (TP) in a bath of hard-core particles undergoing continuous exchanges with a reservoir. We develop an analytical framework which allows us to go beyond the standard force-velocity relation used for this…
We address the dynamics of adsorbed molecules (a fundamental issue in surface physics) within the framework of a Master Equation scheme, and study the diffusion of particles in a finite cubic lattice whose boundaries are at the $z=1$ and…
The dynamics of a tracer particle in a bath of quasi-hard colloidal spheres is studied by Langevin dynamics simulations and mode coupling theory (MCT); the tracer radius is varied from equal to up to 7 times larger than the bath particles…
We consider classical hard-core particles moving on two parallel chains in the same direction. An interaction between the channels is included via the hopping rates. For a ring, the stationary state has a product form. For the case of…
We present a generic mechanism by which reproducing microorganisms, with a diffusivity that depends on the local population density, can form stable patterns. It is known that a decrease of swimming speed with density can promote separation…
We use Langevin dynamics (LD) simulations to investigate single-file diffusion (SFD) in a dilute solution of flexible linear polymers inside a narrow tube with periodic boundary conditions (a torus). The transition from SFD, where the time…
We study compressible fluid flow in narrow two-dimensional channels using a novel molecular dynamics simulation method. In the simulation area, an upstream source is maintained at constant density and temperature while a downstream…
We investigate the continuum limit that the number of beads goes to infinity in the ring polymer representation of thermal averages. Studying the continuum limit of the trajectory sampling equation sheds light on possible preconditioning…
The run and tumble motions of a swimming bacterium are well characterized by two stochastic variables: the speed $v(t)$ and the change of direction or deflection \mbox{$x(t)=\cos\varphi(t)$}, where $\varphi(t)$ is the turning angle at time…
The Brownian motion of a particle immersed in a medium of charged particles is considered when the system is placed in magnetic or electric fields. Coming from the Zwanzig-Caldeira-Legget particle-bath model, we modify it so that not only…
