الوصف: Anomalous diffusion is predicted for Brownian particles in inhomogeneous viscosity landscapes by means of scaling arguments, which are substantiated through numerical simulations. Analytical solutions of the related Fokker-Planck equation in limiting cases confirm our results. For an ensemble of particles starting at a spatial minimum (maximum) of the viscous damping we find subdiffusive (superdiffusive) motion. Superdiffusion occurs also for a monotonically varying viscosity profile. We suggest different substances for related experimental investigations.
