Continuum Derrida Approach to Drift and Diffusivity in Random Media
By means of rather general arguments, based on an approach due to Derrida that makes use of samples of finite size, we analyse the effective diffusivity and drift tensors in certain types of random medium in which the motion of the particles is controlled by molecular diffusion and a local flow field with known statistical properties. The power of the Derrida method is that it uses the equilibr...
متن کاملThe effective diffusivity of cellular flows
In the previous chapter we dealt with unidirectional flows. Now we turn to the slightly more complicated case of incompressible two-dimensional cellular flows. The velocity field can be obtained from a streamfunction ψ(x, y) according to our usual convention u = (u, v) = (−ψy, ψx). The domain is a periodic array of square cells, each with side , so that the streamfunction has the periodicity ψ(...
متن کاملRobustness of an Effective Diffusivity Diagnostic in Oceanic Flows
The robustness of Nakamura’s effective diffusivity diagnostic for quantifying eddy diffusivities of tracers within a streamwise-average framework is carefully examined in an oceanographic context, and the limits of its applicability are detailed. The near-surface Southern Ocean geostrophic flow, obtained from altimetric observations, is chosen for particular examination since it exhibits strong...
متن کاملEffect of helicity on the effective diffusivity for incompressible random flows.
The advection of a passive scalar by a quenched (frozen) incompressible velocity field is studied by extensive high precision numerical simulation and various approximation schemes. We show that second-order self-consistent perturbation theory, in the absence of helicity, perfectly predicts the effective diffusivity of a tracer particle in such a field. In the presence of helicity in the flow, ...
متن کاملElectron ’ drift velocity and diffusivity in germanium
Experimental results for electron drift velocity and diffusivity in germanium, obtained with the time-of-flight technique in hyperpure material. are presented for temperatures between 8 and 240 K and fields between 1 and 104,V/cm oriented along (111) and (100) directions. An anisotropy of the drift velocity and of the diffusion coefficient is found with the electric field applied along (111) an...
