Abstract
We have used pulsed gradient spin echo (PGSE) NMR to measure longitudinal displacements of octane molecules undergoing Poiseuille flow in a 150 μm diameter pipe, accessing time scales which approach the Taylor dispersion limit. We monitor the change in displacement distribution which occurs as molecules undergoing Brownian motion sample an increasing proportion of the ensemble of streamlines, observing the effects of wall collisions and the gradual transition of the propagator from Poiseuille to Taylor-Aris behavior. The further use of a double PGSE sequence allows the direct measurement of the stochastic part of the motion alone.Keywords
