Brownian Dynamics of a Sphere Between Parallel Walls

arXiv:cond-mat/0008316 · doi:10.1209/epl/i2001-00147-6

Abstract

We describe direct imaging measurements of a colloidal sphere's diffusion between two parallel surfaces. The dynamics of this deceptively simple hydrodynamically coupled system have proved difficult to analyze. Comparison with approximate formulations of a confined sphere's hydrodynamic mobility reveals good agreement with both a leading-order superposition approximation as well as a more general all-images stokeslet analysis.
