On the hydrodynamic equilibrium of a rod in a lattice fluid
On the hydrodynamic equilibrium of a rod in a lattice fluid
We model the behavior of a big (Brazil) nut in a medium of smaller nuts with a stochastic asymmetric simple exclusion dynamics of a polymer-monomer lattice system. The polymer or `rod' can move up or down in an external negative field, occupying N horizontal lattice sites where the monomers cannot …
