Radial Brownian displacement
ID: radial-brownian-displacement
For isotropic three-dimensional diffusion with coefficient , the vector mean displacement is zero, the radial RMS is and the mean radial magnitude is . The radial distribution is the Maxwell speed distribution arising from three independent Gaussian coordinate increments. State the statistic before calling a quantity an average distance; it is not the cumulative path length.
