Discretization of an admixture flux within the framework of the fractal model of anomalous diffusion

Abstract

Within the framework of the fractal mobile-immobile medium model describing non-Fickian effects occurring in admixture seepage due to particle adhesion to the solid matrix, an expression for the admixture flux is derived. Flow discretization intended for finite-difference calculations is proposed and used as a basis for a conservation-law scheme for solving the model equations with account for admixture sources. Several one-dimensional test problems of admixture propagation in an imposed seepage flow are solved using the approach developed.
