Correlation functions Lagrangian

The latter is difficult to discern from file figure, but appears clearly in file Lagrangian auto-correlation functions shown in Yeung (2002). 

Alternatively, the white-noise processes W(f) could be replaced by colored-noise processes. Since the latter have finite auto-correlation times, the resulting Lagrangian correlation functions for U and would be nonexponential. However, it would generally not be possible to describe the Lagrangian PDF by a Fokker-Planck equation. Thus, in order to simplify the comparison with Eulerian PDF methods, we will use white-noise processes throughout this section. 

Owing to the sensitivity of the chemical source term to the shape of the composition PDF, the application of the second approach to model molecular mixing models in Section 6.6, a successful model for desirable properties. In addition, the Lagrangian correlation functions for each pair of scalars (( (fO fe) ) should agree with available DNS data.130 Some of these requirements (e.g., desirable property (ii)) require models that control the shape of /, and for these reasons the development of stochastic differential equations for micromixing is particularly difficult. 

In particular, for scalars with different Schmidt numbers the Lagrangian correlation function must exhibit the correct dependence on Sc and Re.

This is the approximation of a Wiener variable, which renders the system (4.3) a coupled Langevin system. The correlation function for F is therefore of the character of a diffusion coefficient, and the system can be solved by standard Lagrangian methods.

Later Taylor began to search for more suitable means for the the description of turbulence [165]. The statistical approach to the study of turbulence was initiated by a paper by Taylor [158]. In the work of Taylor [158] on turbulent transport the important role of the Lagrangian correlation function (i.e., the one point time correlation) of the velocity field was first demonstrated. Taylor showed that the turbulent diffusion of particles starting from a point depends on the correlation between the velocity of a fluid particle at any instant and that of the same particle after a certain correlation time interval. 

According to Taylor [159] [160] [161], the properties of the Lagrangian scales are similar to the Eulerian correlation scales. Although the statistical turbulence theory is derived in terms of the Eulerian correlation functions, accurate measurements of the Lagrangian scales and correlations are easier and direct. In contrast, the measurements of Eulerian correlations requires two probes simultaneously working at two different locations. 

In this regime the typical distance from the origin of motion increases as the square root of time. Thus, the dispersion in turbulent flows at long times is analogous to molecular diffusion or random walks with independent increments and comparison of Eq. (2.24) with (2.16) relates the turbulent diffusion coefficient, Dt, to the integral of the Lagrangian correlation function, Tl, as...
