Fractional diffusant model of a multicomponent inhomogeneous gas mixture as a basis for the diffusant approximation
Abstract It can be shown that for a correct description of the motion of an inhomogeneous multicomponent mixture of gases, such concepts as a multi-velocity continuum and interpenetrating motion are not enough. This is the basis for the introduction of the concept of “poly-velocity motion”. The reason for the need to use this concept is that to describe the motion of each component of an inhomogeneous mixture, it is necessary to use not one, but two velocity fields. The use of two velocity fields to describe the motion of a mixture component is the basis for constructing a fractional model of the mixture component, in which each component is divided into two fractions. This model serves as the basis for constructing the proposed fractional diffusant model of a multicomponent inhomogeneous gas mixture.
