Hydrodynamic screening and particle dynamics in porous media, semidilute polymer solutions and polymer gels

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The dynamics of particle interactions in porous media are studied using a newly formulated mean field theory. Statistical correlations in the gel network are analyzed in detail and found to have a crucial influence on the results. Self-diffusion and mutual diffusion coefficients of Brownian particles moving through a gel are determined. Preaveraged hydrodynamic interaction tensors are derived for two mobile Brownian particles, a mobile particle and an obstacle.
