Understanding and controlling transport through complex media is central for a plethora of
processes ranging from technical to biological applications. Yet, the effect of micro-scale …

We study the diffusion of particles confined close to a single wall and in double-wall planar
channel geometries where the local diffusivities depend on the distance to the boundaries …

Particles transported in fluid flows, such as cells, polymers, or nanorods, are rarely spherical.
In this study, we numerically and theoretically investigate the dispersion of an initially …

Despite its physiological and pathological importance, the mechanical relationship between
glucose uptake in the intestine and intestinal flows is unclear. In the intestine of the …

The dispersive spreading of microscopic particles in shear flows is influenced both by
advection and thermal motion. At the nanoscale, interactions between such particles and …

Understanding particle motion in narrow channels can guide progress in numerous
applications, from filtration to vascular transport. Thermal or active fluctuations of fluid-filled …

Small intestine motility and its ensuing flow of luminal content impact both nutrient
absorption and bacterial growth. To explore this interdependence we introduce a …

Most of the literature on flow through nanoporous two-dimensional membranes has focused
on static membranes under quasiequilibrium conditions. However, various studies have …

The present study examines the peristaltic flow of a non-Newtonian (Casson) fluid and
solute transport through a flexible tube. Using the long-wavelength approximation, an …

Advection-diffusion coupling can enhance particle and solute dispersion by orders of
magnitude as compared to pure diffusion, with a steady state being reached for confined …
