The motion of contaminant particles through complex environments such as fractured rocks or porous sediments is often characterized by anomalous diffusion: the spread of the transported quantity is found to grow sublinearly in time due to the presence of obstacles which hinder particle...

In a wide range of transport phenomena in complex systems, the mean squared displacement of a particles plume has been often found to follow a non-linear relationship of the kind 〈x2(t)∝tα〉, where α may be greater or smaller than 1: these evidences have been described under the generic...

A diffusion model based on a continuous time random walk scheme with a separable transition probability density is introduced. The probability density for long jumps is proportional to x−1−γ (a Lévy-like probability density). Even when the probability density for the walker position at...
