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.

Before embarking on this discussion one fact must be established. In many applications the autocorrelation function of L(t) is not really a delta function, but merely sharply peaked with a small rc > 0. Accordingly L(t) is a proper stochastic function, not a singular one. Then (4.5) is a well-defined stochastic differential equation (in the sense of chapter XVI) with a well-defined solution. If one now takes the limit rc —> 0 in this solution, it becomes a solution of the Stratonovich form (4.8) of the Fokker-Planck equation. This theorem has been proved officially, but the result can also be seen as follows.

The stochastic differential equation (2.2.15) could be formally compared with the Fokker-Planck equation. Unlike the complete mixing of particles when a system is characterized by s stochastic variables (concentrations the local concentrations in the spatially-extended systems, C(r,t), depend also on the continuous coordinate r, thus the distribution function f(Ci,..., Cs]t) turns to be a functional, that is real application of these equations is rather complicated. (See [26, 34] for more details about presentation of the Fokker-Planck equation in terms of the functional derivatives and problems of normalization.)... 

In recent years the diagrammatic technique of the perturbation theory found wide application in solving the stochastic differential equations, e.g., see a review article by Mikhailov and Uporov [68].

Then Y is an element of a non-standard sequence if Y e R and M e N. We say that YM converges to Y if Y - st Y for all infinite integers M. Continuity and differentiability can be similarly defined, for example ff(a) = st (f(a+h) - f(a) /h for all infinitesimals h. The Dirac delta function can be defined pointwise and new approaches to the theory of probability and stochastic differential equations are opened up. But these are applications and paradoxically I have been describing the abstraction that is the non-standard world in very concrete terms. This is no place to go back and try to present it abstractly, but it stands as an example of a recent step forward in the path of abstraction that began two and a half millenia ago (see also (23,24)). 

Chapter 4 is devoted to the description of stochastic mathematical modelling and the methods used to solve these models such as analytical, asymptotic or numerical methods. The evolution of processes is then analyzed by using different concepts, theories and methods. The concept of Markov chains or of complete connected chains, probability balance, the similarity between the Fokker-Plank-Kolmogorov equation and the property transport equation, and the stochastic differential equation systems are presented as the basic elements of stochastic process modelling. Mathematical models of the application of continuous and discrete polystochastic processes to chemical engineering processes are discussed. They include liquid and gas flow in a column with a mobile packed bed, mechanical stirring of a liquid in a tank, solid motion in a liquid fluidized bed, species movement and transfer in a porous media. Deep bed filtration and heat exchanger dynamics are also analyzed.

Ito s theorem provides an analytical formula that simplifies the treatment of stochastic differential equations, which is why it is so valuable. It is an important rule in the application of stochastic calculus to the pricing of financial instruments. Here, we briefly describe the power of the theorem. 

The remainder of this section is devoted to the derivation of Eq.[54]. Besides the mathematics we also define the range of applicability of simulations based on the Nernst-Planck equation. The starting point for deriving the Nernst-Planck equation is Langevin s equation (Eq. [45]). A solution of this stochastic differential equation can be obtained by finding the probability that the solution in phase space is r, v at time t, starting from an initial condition ro, Vo at time = 0. This probability is described by the probability density function p r, v, t). The basic idea is to find the phase-space probability density function that is a solution to the appropriate partial differential equation, rather than to track the individual Brownian trajectories in phase space. This last point is important, because it defines the difference between particle-based and flux-based simulation strategies. 

The population balance equations considered so far were for systems in which particles changed their states deterministically. Thus specification of the state of the particle and its environment was sufficient to determine the rate of change of state of that particle. Applications may, however, be encountered where the particle state may change randomly as determined, for example, by a set of stochastic differential equations. Since, however, the population balance equation is a deterministic equation, our desire is to seek the expected displacement of particles moving randomly in particle state space during an infinitesimal interval dt. 

In the foregoing demonstration, we had limited ourselves to include only the kinematic aspects of bubble motion. A dynamic model including force balances on bubble motion would have called for adding the bubble velocity also as a particle state variable. Such a model could also have been considered allowing for bubble velocity to be a random process satisfying a stochastic differential equation of the type (2.11.14). The basic objective of this example has been to demonstrate applications in which particle state can be a random process. The next and the last example in this chapter considers a similar application, but with a distinction that can help address an entirely different class of problems.

This definition shows that Brownian motion is closely finked to the Gaussian/normal distribution. The formalism of Weiner processes opens stochastic processes to rigorous mathematical analysis and has enabled the use of Weiner processes in the field of stochastic differential equations. Stochastic differential equations are analogs of classical differential equations where the coefficients are stochastic variables rather than constants or deterministic variables. The field of stochastic differential equations finds wide application in many practical situations where mod-... 

The Wiener process represents one possible form of diffusion processes. It is actually the integral of what in practical applications is called a white noise. The Wiener process with drift will be used in our application. The initial mean value (drift) is p and standard deviations for each time increment have been previously calculated—see Table 1. For our model we apply Wiener process with drift given by stochastic differential equation.
