Transport equation evaluation of coupled continuous time random walks
The transport behavior of a migrating particle in a disordered medium is exhibited in the solution of a transport equation derived from a coupled continuous time random walk (CTRW). A core aspect of CTRW is the spectrum of transitions in displacement \textbf{s} and t, \(\psi({\mathbf s},t)\), that characterizes the disordered system. In many applications the CTRW approach has successfully accounted for the anomalous or non-Fickian nature of the particle plume propagation based on a power-law dependence \(\psi(t)\) in a decoupled \(p({\mathbf s})\psi(t)\) approximation to \(\psi({\mathbf s},t)\). For example, this power law dependence in \(t\) derives from the complex Darcy flow fields in geological formations. Recently, the fully coupled CTRW was analyzed using a particle tracking approach, demonstrating that the decoupled approximation is valid only for a compact distribution of \(s\). \noindent In this paper, the nonlocal-in-time integro-differential transport equation is solved with a \(\psi({\mathbf s},t)\) containing a power-law dependence in both \(s\) (a Lévy-like distribution) and t, which necessitates the strong \textbf{s}, \(t\) coupling. The authors obtain enhanced transport behavior (relative to the plume propagation behavior reported in the literature) that derives from the rare large displacements in \(s\) (limited by the transition in \(t\)). The interplay between the two coupled power laws is clearly shown in the changes in the breakthrough curves in the arrival times, dispersion and dependence on the velocity \(({\mathbf v}={\mathbf s}/t)\) distribution. Similar enhancements are exhibited in the particle tracking results.
