Abstract. In this paper the solution for the one-dimensional Stefan problem of fractional order was examined, considering a generalization of Fourier's law, in which flux is related to temperature through Caputo's fractional derivative.
Abstract. In this paper the diffusion model representing the motion of membrane receptors with respect to virus endocytosis is considered in the context of applied mechanics. The unexpected behaviour of the receptor density that moves from higher concentrations in the unbound phase to lower concentration at the right of the virus surface is accounted for introducing a mechanical drift term in the governing equation so that the difference of concentrations, higher in the bounded phase and lower in the unbounded phase is accounted for in the receptor motion. Additionally, a non-gaussian model of diffusion has been introduced in terms of fractional generalization of the Fick law.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
