The initial development of solar flares

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that a point explosion in the lower chromosphere can be treated as a virtually instantaneous release of energy throughout a volume of radius R ≈ 100 km, which subsequently expands as a classical hydrodynamic blast wave.

Anisotropic mesh adaptation for finite element solution of Anisotropic Porous Medium Equation

TL;DR: Anisotropic mesh adaptation for linear finite element solution of APME for time-independent diffusion and solution errors using anisotropic adaptive meshes show second order convergence are discussed.

Exact solutions for nonlinear diffusion with nonlinear loss

TL;DR: In this paper, exact similarity solutions for nonlinear diffusion with nonlinear reactive or irreversible absorptive loss from an instantaneous source were developed, where diffusivity is proportional to a powerm of concentration, with 0 0 withs=1, 2, 3 in physical applications.

Kinetic diffusion in polymer gels

TL;DR: In this paper, two types of integrals of Fickian diffusion equations are known to exhibit the characteristics of non-Fickian fluid dynamics, and they are used to determine whether Fick's first law can govern the diffusion of small molecules in polymers.
