Abstract:Monte Carlo methods for computing various statistical aspects of turbulent diffusion with long range correlated and even fractal random velocity fields are described here. A simple explicit exactly solvable model with complex regimes of scaling behavior including trapping, subdiffusion, and superdiffusion is utilized to compare and contrast the capabilities of conventional Monte Carlo procedures such as the Fourier method and the moving average method; explicit numerical examples are presented which demonstrate the poor convergence of these conventional methods in various regimes with long range velocity correlations. A new method for computing fractal random fields involving wavelets and random plane waves developed recently by two of the authors J. Comput. Phys. 117, 146 (1995)] is applied to compute pair dispersion over many decades for systematic families of anisotropic fractal velocity fields with the Kolmogorov spectrum. The important associated preconstant for pair dispersion in the Richardson law in these anisotropic settings is compared with the one obtained over many decades recently by two of the authors Phys. Fluids 8, 1052 (1996)] for an isotropic fractal field with the Kolmogorov spectrum. (c) 1997 American Institute of Physics.
