title: Distribution- versus correlation-induced anomalous transport in quenched random velocity fields.
abstract: We study mechanisms of anomalous transport in quenched random media. Broad disorder point distributions and strong disorder correlations cause anomalous transport and can lead to the same anomalous scaling laws for the mean and variance of the particle displacements. The respective mechanisms, however, are fundamentally different. This difference is reflected in the spatial particle densities and first passage time distributions, which provide an indicator to identify the origins of anomalous transport.
