Eddy diffusion is a process that describes the transport and mixing of particles, heat, or other substances in a medium, such as air or water, due to turbulent eddies or vortices. This phenomenon is particularly important in the fields of fluid dynamics, meteorology, oceanography, and environmental science. In turbulent flows, eddies of varying sizes are created as a result of chaotic fluid motion.
