Anisotropic Diffusion in Driven Convection Arrays

We numerically investigate the transport of a Brownian colloidal particle in a square array of planar counter-rotating convection rolls at high Péclet numbers. We show that an external force produces huge excess peaks of the particle’s diffusion constant with a height that depends on the force orien...
