We investigate the diffusion in the slide‐ring gel by Brownian dynamics simulation. A coarse‐grained model is constructed and the effect of solvent is expressed by the random forces acting on both the gel and the diffusing particle. The diffusion is analyzed with various concentration of cross‐linkers. It is found that the diffusion constant is a decreasing function of the cross‐linker concentration with a plateau at the intermediate concentration.
