In cell membranes, proteins and lipids diffuse in a highly crowded and heterogeneous landscape, where aggregates and dense domains of proteins or lipids obstruct the path of diffusing molecules. In general, hindered motion gives rise to…

A mean-field-type limit from stochastic moderately interacting many-particle systems with singular Riesz potential is performed, leading to nonlocal porous-medium equations in the whole space. The nonlocality is given by the inverse of a…
Imbibition, the displacement of a nonwetting fluid by a wetting fluid, plays a central role in diverse energy, environmental, and industrial processes. While this process is typically studied in homogeneous porous media with uniform…
Starting from the dynamical system model capturing the splitting-differentiation process of populations, we extend this notion to show how the speciation mechanism from a single species leads to the consideration of several well known…
A cross-diffusion system describing ion transport through biological membranes or nanopores in a bounded domain with mixed Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions is analyzed. The ion concentrations solve strongly coupled diffusion equations…
We investigate the role of migration patterns on the spread of epidemics in complex networks. We enhance the SIS-diffusion model on metapopulations to a nonlinear diffusion. Specifically, individuals move randomly over the network but at a…
We present and derive a novel double-continuum transport model based on pore-scale characteristics. Our approach relies on building a simplified unit cell made up of immobile and mobile continua. We employ a numerically resolved pore-scale…
This paper investigates the incompressible limit of a system modelling the growth of two cells population. The model describes the dynamics of cell densities, driven by pressure exclusion and cell proliferation. It has been shown that…
We study the role of anisotropic steric interactions in a system of hard Brownian needles. Despite having no volume, non-overlapping needles exclude a volume in configuration space that influences the macroscopic evolution of the system.…
We propose a stationary system that might be regarded as a migration model of some population abandoning their original place of abode and becoming part of another population, once they reach the interface boundary. To do so, we show a…
