Abstract

In this study, the local time and space structural derivative diffusion model is introduced to describe non-Fickian diffusion in heterogeneous media from ultraslow to superfast. Its equivalent heterogeneous diffusion process (HDP) model with time and space-dependent diffusion coefficient is also given. The connection and difference between the proposed model and the existing HDP models are compared. Different types of diffusion processes can be captured by selecting proper structural functions in the structural derivative model, which is determined based on the concentration of tracers, mean squared displacement (MSD) and diffusion coefficient of the heterogeneous media. The dynamics of the free cooling granular gases with constant restitution coefficient and velocity-dependent restitution coefficient is investigated to test the proposed model. The results show that the diffusion law of the granular particles is not uniform for the short and long-time scales, but one uniform diffusion law derived from the proposed model can well fit the data in different time scales. The patterns of the time-dependent diffusion coefficient are also simulated to deeply understand the complicated non-Fickian diffusion in complex system.
