Simulation of diffusiophoresis force and the confinement effect of Janus particles with the continuum method

The Janus particle is a special class of colloidal particle that has different surface characteristics on its two hemispheres. In the microsystem field, an interesting application is the Janus particle's self-propulsion. Diffusiophoresis (DFP) provides one possible mechanism to explain this phe...
