Running faster together: huge speed up of thermal ratchets due to hydrodynamic coupling
Paolo Malgaretti, Ignacio Pagonabarraga, Daan Frenkel
We present simulations that reveal a surprisingly large effect of hydrodynamic coupling on the speed of thermal ratchet motors. The model that we use considers particles performing…

Cooperative rectification in confined Brownian ratchets
Paolo Malgaretti, Ignacio Pagonabarraga, J. Miguel Rubi
We analyze the rectified motion of a Brownian particle in a confined environment. We show the emergence of strong cooperativity between the inherent rectification of the ratchet me…
