In this chapter we discuss some possible physical pictures that describe the constitution of the inner crust of compact objects. Different relativistic models both with constant couplings and density dependent ones are used. We calculate…

Fluid infiltration of a permeable brick in contact with a pressurized reservoir of fluid is considered. A stochastic model, informed by Darcy's law and the incompressibility of the fluid, shows how the heterogeneity of the permeability…
