| Sep 3, 2014 at 22:17 | comment | added | Gregory Putzel | I have found some relevant articles. See links: Holcman and Schuss 2011, Schuss 2012, and Holcman and Schuss 2014. It appears that the relevant timescale may be $AL/WD$, where L is the length of the tunnel, W its width. This differs from Carlo Beenakker's answer, but I do believe that the case of Brownian motion should differ from that of ballistic motion (between collisions with walls). | |

| Aug 29, 2014 at 13:57 | comment | added | Andreas Blass | If I understand the question correctly, the circular region $X$ is irrelevant. You could as well just have that end of the tunnel open and ask how $Y$ affects the average time for the particle to reach the open end. | |
