At separations well above the integral scale of turbulence, two fluid velocities can decorrelate spatially. If the relative-velocity autocorrelation Rrel​ is stationary and integrable, the displacement identity used in Taylor turbulent dispersion gives the displayed long-time linear mean-square growth. With speed U and Lagrangian integral time of order L/U, its relative diffusivity is of order UL. The characteristic separation grows as t1/2, unlike inertial-range Richardson pair dispersion.
