Abstract
A new definition of concentration fluctuations in turbulent flows is proposed. The definition implicitly incorporates smearing effects of molecular diffusion and instrumental averaging. A stochastic model of two-particle dispersion, consistent with this definition, is formulated. The stochastic model is an extension of Taylor's (1921) model and is consistent with Richardson's represents net destruction of fluctuations by relative dispersion. Only the first term is included in the usual one-particle model (Corrsin 1952).
