The directed transport performance of two coupled Brownian particles in the double-well ratchet potential under the external force has been studied in this paper. Langevin equation in the overdamped regime is solved numerically. The influence of the external force, the thermal noise, and the asymmetric parameter of the potential on the transport properties of the coupled Brownian particles including the average velocity, the effective diffusion coefficient Deff , and the Pe number, is discussed in detail. It is found that the average velocity changes periodically under the external force. Meanwhile, there is an optimal value of the intensity of the thermal noise at which the current reaches the maximum. It is worthwhile to point out that the enhancement of the current can be achieved by changing the structure of the ratchet potential.
