Pressure-Free Surface-Induced Flow by Geometric Rectification

preprint2026arXivOpen access

Abstract

Pressure-driven flow collapses when confined (u∝r2u\propto r^{2}). Asymmetry rectifies surface activity (exchange or slip gradients) into axial flux at ΔP=0ΔP=0 despite zero net exchange. Lorentz reciprocity yields a projection law: throughput is the inner product of source with a geometry kernel. Signatures include inverted ``narrower-is-faster'' scaling (u∝r−1u\propto r^{-1}), leading-order viscosity independence, length amplification (Q∝LQ\propto L), and linear superposition, defining surface-induced flow as a pressure-free Stokes-transport mode from microfluidics to physiology.
