Diffusion in inhomogeneous media with periodic microstructures

چکیده
Diffusion in inhomogeneous materials can be described by both the Fick and Fokker–Planck diffusion equations. Here, we study a mixed problem with coefficients rapidly oscillating space time. We obtain macroscopic models performing homogenization limit means of unfolding technique.

Branching diffusion in inhomogeneous media
We investigate the long-time evolution of branching diffusion processes (starting with a finite number of particles) in inhomogeneous media. The qualitative behavior of the processes depends on the intensity of the branching. In the super-critical regime, we describe the asymptotics of the number of particles in a given domain. In the sub-critical and critical regimes, we describe the distribut...
متن کاملDiffusion in spatially and temporarily inhomogeneous media.
In this paper we consider diffusion of a passive substance C in a temporarily and spatially inhomogeneous two-dimensional medium. As a realization for the latter we choose a phase-separating medium consisting of two substances A and B , whose dynamics is determined by the Cahn-Hilliard equation. Assuming different diffusion coefficients of C in A and B , we find that the variance of the distrib...
متن کاملHeat diffusion in inhomogeneous media Steady state conduction
The system under examination consists of a mix of N discrete particles embedded in an otherwise continuous matrix. We will assume that the particles are spheres. The spheres each have a radius Ri, thermal conductivity κi, and position ri = (xi, yi, zi) relative to a common origin, for i = 1, 2, . . . , N . Assume that the radii are dimensionless (scaled with an appropriate length, e.g., the ave...
متن کاملMagnetoactive elastomers with periodic and random microstructures
We investigate the behavior of magnetoactive elastomers (MAEs) with periodic and random distributions of circular and elliptical fibers. For the MAEs with periodic microstructures, we develop finite element models and determine the local fields as well as the effective properties of MAEs with rectangular and quasi-hexagonal unit cells. For the MAEs with random microstructures, we derive a close...
متن کاملDiffusion in Inhomogeneous Systems
Single-particle diffusion, also known as Brownian motion, is the random motion of a particle in space due to collisions with its surrounding medium. The theory of diffusion in a homogeneous medium, one with a constant diffusion coefficient, is well established and recognized. The theoretical basis of diffusion in heterogeneous environments, where the diffusion coefficient varies in space, is fa...
