Hyperballistic Superdiffusion and Explosive Solutions to the Non-Linear Diffusion Equation

Abstract: By means of a particle model that includes interactions only via the local particle concentration, we show that hyperballistic diffusion may result. This is done by findng the exact solution of the corresponding non-linear diffusion equation, as well as by particle simulations. The connection between these levels of description is provided by the Fokker-Planck equation describing the particle dynamics. PACS numbers:

“…Anomalous diffusion has also been observed in granular systems, such as in the velocity profile of fluid-driven silo discharge [54], in granular gases near a shear instability [55], and in the height fluctuations in graphene [56]. In such cases, one often expects subdiffusive processes α < 1, whereas there are also cases where superdiffusion with α > 1 occurs, such as in Lévy flights, random acceleration processes, tracers in the turbulent flow, active particles with time-dependent self-propulsion forces, and in diffusion with density-dependent diffusivity [57][58][59][60][61][62]. For a review of theoretical models of anomalous diffusion, see, for example [63].…”

“…To sample the local concentration around particle i , we use a scheme similar to that in Ref. [ 40 ]. Here, a number of interaction partners is introduced, along an associated volume of a sphere that contains the nearest neighbors.…”

“…One way in which hyper-ballistic diffusion can appear is when the particle velocity is allowed to grow without bounds [ 40 ]. For normal Langevin systems, such behavior is not possible, since the fluctuation-dissipation theorem ensures a balance between the fluctuations driving the system and the dissipation.…”

“…A rate equation model can describe such behavior by making the diffusion constant dependent on time or exciton density. [47,48] In materials such as organic semiconductors where there are multiple varieties of excitons, incorporating their interconversion into the rate equation can identify effects such as negative diffusion. [49] Additional phenomena could further exploit diffusion to improve performance.…”
