Single-file transport refers to the motion of particles in a narrow channel, such that they cannot bypass each other. This constraint leads to strong correlations between the particles, described by correlation profiles, which measure the…

Monte Carlo (MC) simulations of transport in random porous networks indicate that for high variances of the log-normal permeability distribution, the transport of a passive tracer is non-Fickian. Here we model this non-Fickian dispersion in…

Anomalous diffusion constitutes a relation between tracer flux and tracer density gradient that is inherently nonlocal in space and/or time. Previous studies emphasize the non-Gaussian character of the tracer distribution that arises from…
