Enhancement of the longitudinal transport by a weakly transversal drive
arXiv:1003.4099 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.81.021110
Abstract
Transport of Brownian particles in a two-dimensional asymmetric tube is investigated by applying a polarized field. From the Brownian dynamics simulations we find that the longitudinal current can be enhanced remarkably by applying a weakly transversal drive. Multiple current reversals can be realized by altering the driving frequency of the polarized field. By coupling the longitudinal and transversal forces together, one can control the particle transport flexibly.
