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...

We investigate the relationship between the effective diffusivity and effective drift of a particle moving in a random medium. The velocity of the particle combines a white noise diffusion process with a local drift term that depends linearly on the gradient of a gaussian random field with homogeneous statistics. The theoretical analysis is confirmed by numerical simulation. For the purely isot...
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...
متن کاملA New Model for Prediction of Heat Eddy Diffusivity in Pipe Expansion Turbulent Flows
A new model to calculate heat eddy diffusivity in separating and reattaching flows based on modification of constant Prt is proposed. This modification is made using an empirical correlation between maximum Nusselt number and entrance Reynolds number. The model includes both the simplicity of Prt=0.9 assumption and the accuracy of two-equation heat-transfer models. Furthermore, an appropriate l...
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(...
