Abstract
AbstractDiffusion in the presence of high-diffusivity paths is an important issue of current technology. In metals, high-diffusivity paths are identified with dislocations, grain boundaries, free surfaces and internal microcracks. In pourous media such as rocks, fissures provide a system of high-flow paths. Recently, based on a continuum approach, these phenomena have been modelled, resulting in coupled systems of partial differential equations of parabolic type for the concentrations in bulk and in the high-diffusivity paths. This theory assumes that each point of the medium is simultaneously occupied by more than one diffusion or flow path. Here a simple discrete random walk model of diffusion in a medium with double diffusivity is given.
