Abstract

A subtle difference in a diffusion model can lead to an opposite conclusion. We need to understand how each component involved in the diffusion phenomenon contributes to the diffusion model. In this talk, we will discuss how nonconstant persistence and permeability play a role in the diffusion phenomenon. The modeling process, physical properties, and numerical simulations, and experimental results will be discussed with a few analytical results.
