STOCHASTIC MODELING AND ANALYSIS OF A TURBULENT FLOW SYSTEM

A stochastic model is developed to describe the axial movement of an element or particle in a turbulent flow system, where diffusion or local transition is not the major mechanism dictating particle motion. The model is a generalization of the diffusion equation for particle movement and includes bo...

Description
Summary:A stochastic model is developed to describe the axial movement of an element or particle in a turbulent flow system, where diffusion or local transition is not the major mechanism dictating particle motion. The model is a generalization of the diffusion equation for particle movement and includes both diffusion and random displacements. From this model, one can determine the residence time distribution and estimate the parameters characterizing the flow system.
