DIFFUSIVE FLUXES
• Momentum, energy and matter tend to move from regions of higher to lower
concentration.
• Constitutive equations relate the diffusive fluxes to gradients (in velocity, temperature or
concentration) and material properties. These relations in many cases are empirical.
Examples:
• Fourier’s law of heat conduction: 𝐪 = −𝑘∇𝑇
(𝑀)
• Fick’s law of diffusion (in binary mixture): 𝐉𝐴 = −𝐶𝐷𝐴𝐵 ∇𝑥𝐴
