چکیده

Continuous time random walks model anomalous diffusion. Coupling allows the magnitude of particle jumps to depend on the waiting time between jumps. Governing equations for the long-time scaling limits of these models are found to have fractional powers of coupled space and time differential operators. Explicit solutions and scaling properties are presented for these equations, which can be used to model flow in porous media and other physical systems.

Fractional governing equations for coupled random walks

Keywords: Fractional calculus Anomalous diffusion Continuous time random walk Central limit theory Operator stable law a b s t r a c t In a continuous time random walk (CTRW), a random waiting time precedes each random jump. The CTRW is coupled if the waiting time and the subsequent jump are dependent random variables. The CTRW is used in physics to model diffusing particles. Its scaling limit ...

Random walk approximation of fractional-order multiscaling anomalous diffusion.

Random walks are developed to approximate the solutions of multiscaling, fractional-order, anomalous diffusion equations. The essential elements of the diffusion are described by the matrix-order scaling indexes and the mixing measure, which describes the diffusion coefficient in every direction. Two forms of the governing equation (also called the multiscaling fractional diffusion equation), b...

Oracle Continuous Time Random Walks

Abstract. In a continuous time random walk (CTRW), a random waiting time precedes each random jump. The CTRW model is useful in physics, to model diffusing particles. Its scaling limit is a time-changed process, whose densities solve an anomalous diffusion equation. Some applications require the anticipating version, an oracle continuous time random walk (OCTRW), where the next jump after any g...

Limit Theorems for Coupled Continuous Time Random Walks

Scaling limits of continuous time random walks are used in physics to model anomalous diffusion, in which a cloud of particles spreads at a different rate than the classical Brownian motion. Governing equations for these limit processes generalize the classical diffusion equation. In this article, we characterize scaling limits in the case where the particle jump sizes and the waiting time betw...

Concentration statistics for transport in random media.

We study the ensemble statistics of the particle density in a random medium whose mean transport dynamics describes a continuous time random walk. Starting from a Langevin equation for the particle motion in a single disorder realization, we derive evolution equations for the n-point moments of concentration by coarse graining and ensemble averaging the microscale transport problem. The governi...
