The purpose of this monograph is to review the early theoretical basis of what is known today as soil physics and to serve as a textbook for intermediate porous media physics or transport in porous media graduate courses.
Besides the growing interest in old concepts like temperature and entropy at the nanoscale, theories of relaxation and transport have recently regained a lot of attention. With the electronic circuits and computer chips getting smaller and…
The paper deals with a theoretical investigation of the peristaltic transport of a physiological fluid in a porous asymmetric channel under the action of a magnetic field. The stream function, pressure gradient and axial velocity are…
It is argued that the form commonly adopted for heuristic representation of tokamak momentum diffusion has major shortcomings, and that a non-diffusive momentum-flux term independent of velocity is more appropriate.
K\"u\c{c}\"uk\"oz et al., Sci. Adv. 10, eadn1825 (2024) reported an experiment, which shows that conducting plates in the misaligned system separated by a liquid may experience transverse interactions at small separations. We point out that…
Momentum diffusion of the energetic charged particles is an important mechanism of the transport process in astrophysics, physics of the fusion devices, and laboratory plasmas. In addition to the uniform field momentum diffusion, we obtain…
The transport of energetic particles is intimately related to the properties of plasma turbulence, a ubiquitous dynamic process that transfers energy across a broad range of spatial and temporal scales. However, the mechanisms governing the…

The velocity-space distribution of alpha particles born in fusion devices is subject to modification at moderate energies due to turbulent transport. Therefore, one must calculate the evolution of an equilibrium distribution whose…
From the spread of pollutants in the atmosphere to the transmission of nutrients across cell membranes, anomalous diffusion processes are ubiquitous in natural systems. The ability to understand and control the mechanisms guiding such…

The existence of axial (poloidal) magnetic field in a plasma focus and its significance in plasma focus phenomenology has been extensively discussed in a recent review paper. The poloidal magnetic field is a part of the transient…
A ubiquitous observation in cell biology is that diffusion of macromolecules and organelles is anomalous, and a description simply based on the conventional diffusion equation with diffusion constants measured in dilute solution fails. This…

The concept of random walk, in which particles or waves undergo multiple collisions with the microscopic constituents of a surrounding medium, is central to understanding diffusive transport across many research areas. However, this…
In a classical ideal plasma, a magnetic field is known to reduce the heat conductivity perpendicular to the field whereas it does not alter the one along the field. Here we show that, in strongly correlated plasmas that are observed at high…
Relativistic heavy ion collisions represent an arena for the probe of various anomalous transport effects. Those effects, in turn, reveal the correspondence between the solid state physics and the high energy physics, which share the common…
