“…However, the computational cost of such an explicit approach is prohibitive, if a relatively large region of the parametric space of the problem (such as large porosity range) is to be investigated. Ordinary regime diffusion can also be simulated by employing random walks based on the first passage time (FPT) probability distribution (Brown, 1956;Siegel and Langer, 1986;Zheng and Chiew, 1988;Torquato and Kim, 1989;Tassopoulos and Rosner, 1992;Melkote and Jensen, 1992). Instead of moving the molecule step-by-step in the porous medium, such random walks advance it to a random point on the surface of a sphere centered at the current position of the walker and tangent to the closest solid surface.…”
