Convective transport of macromolecules or micro and nanoparticles in microsystems are usually predicted by solving the Navier Stokes equations for the carrier fluid and a concentration equation for the diffusing species. In the case of isolated particles or complicated geometries with extremely small apertures or microporous material, the concentration equation maybe replaced by a Monte Carlo model.

We have shown that interfacing Monte-Carlo diffusion with a PDE solution for the velocity field brings a new light to convective diffusion of solitary particles in the complex geometries of microsystems for biotechnology.
