Abstract:We consider mean trajectories of multiple tracking points on a rigid body that conducts Brownian motion in the absence and presence of an external force field. Based on a naïve representation of rigid body -polygon and polyhedron where hydrodynamic interactions are neglected, we study the Langevin dynamics of these Brownian polygons and polyhedra. Constant force, harmonic force and an exponentially decaying force are investigated as examples. In two dimensional space, depending on the magnitude and form of the… Show more
