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 کاملO ct 1 99 7 Kinetic description of diffusion - limited reactions in random catalytic media
We study the kinetics of bimolecular, catalytically-activated reactions (CARs) in d-dimensions. The elementary reaction act between reactants takes place only when these meet in the vicinity of a catalytic site; such sites are assumed to be immobile and randomly distributed in space. For CARs we develop a kinetic formalism, based on Collins-Kimball-type ideas; within this formalism we obtain ex...
متن کاملRay-Optics Analysis of Inhomogeneous Uniaxially Anisotropic Media
Uniaxial optical anisotropy in the geometrical-optics approach is a classical problem and most of the theory is known for at least fifty years. Although the subject appears frequently in the literature, it is nearly silent about wave propagation through inhomogeneous anisotropic media. At the same time, the rapid advances in liquid-crystal lenses call for a good overview of the theory on wave p...
