Abstract

Although under normal circumstances the classical Fick law gives an excellent description of mass diffusion, it is however not appropriate for describing some particular features, like those concerned with inertial effects or couplings between mass transport and viscous pressure. Inertial effects are of importance in some applications which have been studied in the framework of stochastic processes, as correlated random walks, a topic to be discussed in Sect. 13.2.
