We consider a broad class of Continuous Time Random Walks with large fluctuations effects in space and time distributions: a random walk with trapping, describing subdiffusion in disordered and glassy materials, and a L\'evy walk process,…

Passive scalar mixing (metals, molecules, etc.) in the turbulent interstellar medium (ISM) is critical for abundance patterns of stars and clusters, galaxy and star formation, and cooling from the circumgalactic medium. However, the…

The linear transport theory is developed to describe the time dependence of the number density of tracer particles in porous media. The advection is taken into account. The transport equation is numerically solved by the analytical discrete…

Using the advection-diffusion equation, we analytically study contaminant transport in a sharply contrasting medium with a diffusion barrier due to localization of a contaminant source in a low-permeability medium. Anomalous diffusion…

In a recent paper the mean square displacement (MSD), <R^2(T)>, of a particle carried by a turbulent liquid over time T has been shown to be proportional to T^6/5, meaning that the motion of the particle is slightly super-diffusive. In some…

A generalization of the Drude model is studied. On the one hand, the free motion of the particles is allowed to be sub- or superdiffusive; on the other hand, the distribution of the time delay between collisions is allowed to have a long…
