Taylor turbulent dispersion
ID: taylor-turbulent-dispersion
Taylor turbulent dispersion describes the absolute displacement of a marked fluid element in stationary homogeneous turbulence. Here is its Lagrangian velocity autocorrelation. Continuous correlation at zero gives ballistic spreading at short times, and an integrable correlation gives diffusive spreading at long times. This is distinct from shear-induced Taylor dispersion and from Richardson pair dispersion.
