The asymptotic dispersion of particles in N-layer systems: Periodic boundary conditions
Robert M. Mazo, Christian Van den Broeck · The Journal of Chemical Physics · 1987
Previous work on dispersion of particles in N-layer systems (generalized Taylor dispersion) for reflecting boundaries is extended to the case of periodic boundary conditions. An explicit expression for the dispersion is presented; this is never greater than the dispersion for the corresponding system with reflecting boundaries. Applications to chromatography with chemical reaction and to anomalous diffusion are made.
