The rectilinear "drift" of particles in a hydrodynamic drift ratchet arises from a combination of diffusive motion and particle-wall hydrodynamic interactions, and is therefore dependent on particle diffusivity, particle size, the amplitude and frequency of fluid oscillation and pore geometry. Using numerical simulations, we demonstrate that the drift velocity relative to the pore size is constant across different sized drift ratchet pores, if all the relevant non-dimensional groups (Peclet… CONTINUE READING
