Numerical simulations of anomalous diffusion

چکیده
In this paper we present numerical methods – finite differences and finite elements – for solution of partial differential equation of fractional order in time for one-dimensional space. This equation describes anomalous diffusion which is a phenomenon connected with the interactions within the complex and non-homogeneous background. In order to consider physical initial-value conditions we use fractional derivative in the Caputo sense. In numerical analysis the boundary conditions of first kind are accounted and in the final part of this paper the result of simulations are presented.

Direct numerical observation of anomalous diffusion in random media
We present computer simulations of anomalous diffusion, 〈r2(t)〉 ∼ at1−δ , in two dimensions. The Monte Carlo calculations are in excellent agreement with previous renormalization group calculations. Interestingly, use of a high-quality pseudorandom number generator is necessary to observe the anomalous diffusion. A linear-feedback, shift-register method leads to incorrect, superdiffusive motion...
متن کاملTempered anomalous diffusion in heterogeneous systems
[1] Passive tracers in heterogeneous media experience preasymptotic transport with scale-dependent anomalous diffusion, before eventually converging to the asymptotic diffusion limit. We propose a novel tempered model to capture the slow convergence of sub-diffusion to a diffusion limit for passive tracers in heterogeneous media. Previous research used power-law waiting times to capture the tim...
متن کاملNumerical analysis and physical simulations for the time fractional radial diffusion equation
We do the numerical analysis and simulations for the time fractional radial diffusion equation used to describe the anomalous subdiffusive transport processes on the symmetric diffusive field. Based on rewriting the equation in a new form, we first present two kinds of implicit finite difference schemes for numerically solving the equation. Then we strictly establish the stability and convergen...
متن کاملOccurrence of normal and anomalous diffusion in polygonal billiard channels.
From extensive numerical simulations, we find that periodic polygonal billiard channels with angles which are irrational multiples of pi generically exhibit normal diffusion (linear growth of the mean squared displacement) when they have a finite horizon, i.e., when no particle can travel arbitrarily far without colliding. For the infinite horizon case we present numerical tests showing that th...
متن کاملNon-Gaussian statistics and superdiffusion in a driven-dissipative dusty plasma.
Particle random motion can exhibit both anomalous diffusion and non-Gaussian statistics in some physical systems. Anomalous diffusion is quantified by a deviation from alpha=1 in a power law for a particle's mean-square displacement, MSD proportional, variant(Deltat)alpha. A deviation from Gaussian statistics for a probability distribution function (PDF) is quantified by fitting to a kappa func...
