Anomalous diffusion or, more generally, anomalous transport, with nonlinear dependence of the mean-squared displacement on the measurement time, is ubiquitous in nature. It has been observed in processes ranging from microscopic movement of…

This work investigates the influence of a generic anomalous diffusion model on mass convection in a fluid-saturated porous medium, focusing on superdiffusive regimes. A mathematical model is developed, and tability analyses - both linear…

Infiltration of diffusing particles from one material to another where the diffusion mechanism is either normal or anomalous is a widely observed phenomena. When the diffusion is anomalous we find interesting behaviors: diffusion may lead…
