The numerical approach to a large class of one- and two-dimensional Fokker–Planck equations (FPE) often encountered in modeling Brownian Motors is presented. The method is based on Finite Element scheme with additional modifications for specific problems. We compare results from discretization of FPE with those obtained from Monte Carlo (MC) simulation of the corresponding Langevin equations. Accuracy, efficiency and applicability are also discussed.
