1 Distribution- Versus Correlation-Induced Anomalous Transport in Quenched Random Velocity Fields

چکیده
2 We study mechanisms of anomalous transport in quenched random media. Broad disorder point distributions and strong disorder correlations cause anomalous transport and can lead to the same anomalous scaling laws for the mean and variance of the particle displacements. The respective mechanisms, however, are fundamentally different. This difference is reflected in the spatial particle densities and first passage time distributions, which provide an indicator to identify the origins of anomalous transport.

متن کاملSpatial Markov model of anomalous transport through random lattice networks.
Flow through lattice networks with quenched disorder exhibits a strong correlation in the velocity field, even if the link transmissivities are uncorrelated. This feature, which is a consequence of the divergence-free constraint, induces anomalous transport of passive particles carried by the flow. We propose a Lagrangian statistical model that takes the form of a continuous time random walk wi...
متن کاملSolute transport in aquifers with evolving scale heterogeneity
Transport processes in groundwater systems with spatially heterogeneous properties often exhibit anomalous behavior. Using first-order approximations in velocity fluctuations we show that anomalous superdiffusive behavior may result if velocity fields are modeled as superpositions of random space functions with correlation structures consisting of linear combinations of short-range correlations...
متن کاملAnomalous scaling of a passive scalar advected by the turbulent velocity field with finite correlation time: two-loop approximation.
The renormalization group and operator product expansion are applied to the model of a passive scalar quantity advected by the Gaussian self-similar velocity field with finite, and not small, correlation time. The inertial-range energy spectrum of the velocity is chosen in the form E(k) proportional, variant k(1-2 epsilon ), and the correlation time at the wave number k scales as k(-2+eta). Ine...
متن کاملAnomalous Transport in Disordered Dynamical Systems
We consider simple extended dynamical systems with quenched disorder. It is shown that these systems exhibit anomalous transport properties such as the total suppression of chaotic diffusion and anomalous drift. The relation to random walks in random environments, in particular to the Sinai model, explains also the occurence of ageing in such dynamical systems. Anomalous transport is explained ...
