The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

A generalized Fokker-Planck equation is used to describe the transport of discrete particles and fluid-points in fluctuating flows. Simple closure approximations for this equation are considered which allow free-field analytic solutions to be constructed. Results based on these solutions are compared with those obtained from simulation of the underlying, non-Markovian particle and fluid-point trajectories. The work validates the form of the generalized Fokker-Planck equation, and demonstrates the effectiveness of using models based on this equation to study such transport. © 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.
