Time-integral iteration method for two-dimensional anomalous transport
1Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of California, Los Angeles, California 90025, USA.
Abstract:
A methodology is developed to describe time-dependent phenomena associated with nonlocal transport in complex, two-dimensional geometries. It is an extension of the ''iterative method" introduced previously to solve steady-state transport problems [Maggs and Morales, Phys. Rev. E 99, 013307 (2019)10.1103/PhysRevE.99.013307], and it is based on the ''jumping particle" concepts associated with the continuous-time random walk (CTRW) model. The method presented explicitly evaluates the time integral contained in the CTRW master equation. A modified version of the Mittag-Leffler function is used for the waiting-time probability distributions to incorporate memory effects. Calculations of the propagation of ''anomalous transport waves" in various systems, with and without memory, illustrate the technique.
