title: Directed transport driven by the transverse wall vibration.
abstract: Directed transport of overdamped Brownian particles in an asymmetrically periodic tube is investigated in the presence of the tube wall vibration. From the Brownian dynamics simulations we can find that the perpendicular wall vibration can induce a net current in the longitudinal direction when the tube is asymmetric. The direction of the current at low frequency is opposite to that at high frequency. One can change the direction of the current by suitably tailoring the frequency of the wall vibration.
