The result is the same as that in the renormalization group (RG) approach. It gives us an insight into the anomalous exponent in the asymptotic solution of the modified porous medium equation in the RG approach. Based on this discussion, we can see that the anomalous dimension appears naturally in the problem and the nonlinearity reflects the anomalous long-time behavior of the system.展开更多
In this paper we study existence of solutions of a class of Cauchy problems for porous medium equations with strongly nonlinear sources or absorptions and convections when the initial trace is a Radon measure μ on RN.
We investigate both analytically and numerically the concentration dynamics of a solution in two containers connected by a narrow and short channel, in which diffusion obeys a porous medium equation.

We also consider the variation of the pressure in the containers due to the flow of matter in the channel. In particular, we identify a phenomenon, which depends on the transport of matter across nano-porous membranes, which we call ＂transient osmosis＂. We find that nonlinear diffusion of the porous medium equation type allows numerous different osmotic-like phenomena, which are not present in the case of ordinary Fickian diffusion. Experimental results suggest one possible candidate for transiently osmotic processes.展开更多

The governing partial differential equations for momentum, heat, oxygen and micro-organism conser- vation are reduced to a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations that are numerically solved using a built-in MATLAB ODE solver. The effects of the bioconvection parameters on the nanofluid fluid properties, nanoparticle concentration and the density of the micro-organism are analyzed. A comparative anal- ysis of our results with those previously reported in the literature is given. Among the significant findings in this study is that bioconvection parameters highly influence beat, mass and motile micro-organism transfer rates.展开更多
