Estudo do Coeficiente de Difusão Secundária em Problema de Difusão com Fluxo Bimodal

ABSTRACT

A recent formulation for anomalous diffusion problems, which envolves a fourth-order differential term, has presented negative values in its solution for certain cases. This paper presents a study of the effect of secondary diffusion coefficient in order to contribute with the understanding of the solutions behavior in these situations. A function was implemented to represent the variation in the parcel subject to primary and secondary diffusion, according to the amount of the property in diffusion. The formulation for the solution of this new model by the Finite Difference Method is presented. The results obtained are compatible with those presented in previous works in the literature.

Keywords:
anomalous difusion; Finite Difference Method; fourth-order differential equation
