Combined probability distributions of random-walks: A new method to simulate diffusion processes

Two related methods to simulate diffusion processes are presented. Both are based on conceiving diffusion as a random-walk process. Several example simulations are presented: single phase diffusion couples, diffusion controlled growth and prediction of Kirkendall porosity. Comparisons with experimental results and simulation software based on established technique (DICTRA) show good agreement with results obtained from the presented models.
