Numerical Experiments in Scalar Diffusion under Stochastic Convection

We study scalar diffusion, both from Eulerian and Lagrangian perspectives, advected by two dimensional flows. Emphasis is devoted to the problem of scalar diffusion under a synthetic turbulent flow. We present numerical and analytical results for the turbulent diffusion coefficient either from the influence of the turbulent synthetic field and a periodic array of eddies. Preliminary results concerning Lagrangian dispersion are also reported.
