| Abstract: | A stochastic model of single-file transport was developed as the Markov process in continuous time technique. The model was constructed using an EC-1060 computer. Unidirectional fluxes were investigated and populations of channels were correlated with flux fluctuations. The profiles of channel populations were shown to have nonlinear shapes even with the transport of nonelectrolyte (the classical diffusion approach gives linear profiles). The relationship between the paired correlation function F(AB) and the concentration of transported particles was examined. The F(AB) profile was shown to become flattened (or exponential for asymmetrical cases) at high concentrations. The concentration dependence jA/jA0 ratio were analyzed, where jA is a single-file unidirectional flux, jA0 is unidirectional flux for the case of free diffusion. An interesting "stack" phenomenon was observed for abnormal time correlations of single-file fluxes. |
