Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Physical Chemistry
  • Geophysics

Background:

  • Effective transport phenomena are crucial in various environmental and geological processes.
  • Understanding the impact of spatial heterogeneity, specifically random retardation factors, on transport is essential for accurate modeling.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a stochastic methodology for quantifying the impact of spatial disorder on effective transport dynamics.
  • To derive an exact effective transport equation that accounts for linear equilibrium adsorption with a spatially random retardation factor.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a stochastic framework to analyze transport under spatially random retardation.
  • Derived an exact effective transport equation.
  • Established a formal equivalence between the derived transport equation and a decoupled continuous time random walk (CTRW).

Main Results:

  • An exact effective transport equation was derived, equivalent to transport under linear kinetic adsorption with a spectrum of adsorption times.
  • The distribution of adsorption times was explicitly determined from the spatial disorder distribution.
  • Demonstrated a formal equivalence between effective transport and a decoupled CTRW, enabling mapping of disorder to transition time distributions.

Conclusions:

  • The study provides a rigorous method to quantify the influence of spatial disorder on effective transport.
  • The findings offer a new perspective on modeling transport processes by linking static disorder to dynamic adsorption time distributions.
  • The established connection to CTRW facilitates advanced analysis and prediction of transport in heterogeneous media.
