Steffen Martens, Gerhard Schmid, Lutz Schimansky-Geier, Peter Hänggi

摘要:

研究了点尺寸布朗粒子在恒定均匀力场作用下通过具有光滑变化周期性截面的三维通道的输运问题。在这里,我们采用的最宽和最窄的收缩划分通过通道几何形状的周期长度的差异之间的比率的渐近分析。我们证明了首阶项等价于Fick-Jacobs近似。通过使用对概率密度的高阶修正,我们导出了空间相关扩散系数D(x)的表达式,该表达式替代了常见的Fick-Jacobs方程中的常数扩散系数。此外,我们表明,在扩散占主导地位的制度的平均输运速度的产品的零阶Fick-Jacobs结果和期望值的空间依赖的扩散系数<D(x)>。分析结果证实了精确的数值计算结果的Smoluchowski扩散粒子动力学发生在一个反射对称的正弦形通道的有限元计算。

英文摘要:

Transport of point-size Brownian particles under the influence of a constant and uniform force field through a three-dimensional channel with smoothly varying periodic cross-section is investigated. Here, we employ an asymptotic analysis in the ratio between the difference of the widest and the most narrow constriction divided through the period length of the channel geometry. We demonstrate that the leading order term is equivalent to the Fick-Jacobs approximation. By use of the higher order corrections to the probability density we derive an expression for the spatially dependent diffusion coefficient D(x) which substitutes the constant diffusion coefficient present in the common Fick-Jacobs equation. In addition, we show that in the diffusion dominated regime the average transport velocity is obtained as the product of the zeroth-order Fick-Jacobs result and the expectation value of the spatially dependent diffusion coefficient <D(x)>. The analytic findings are corroborated with the precise numerical results of a finite element calculation of the Smoluchowski diffusive particle dynamics occurring in a reflection symmetric sinusoidal-shaped channel.
