Abstract:
Diffusion in a quasi-one-dimensional channel, with cross section varying along the longitudinal coordinate, is considered. Using a rigorous mapping of the diffusion equation onto one dimension, eliminating transients in transverse direction(s), we derive an expansion of the effective diffusion coefficient D(x), which represents corrections to the Fick-Jacobs equation.
