Eddy diffusivities of inertial particles in random Gaussian flows
Contributors
Description
We investigate the large-scale transport of inertial particles. We derive explicit analytic
expressions for the eddy diffusivities for generic Stokes times. These latter expressions
are exact for any shear flow while they correspond to the leading contribution either in the
deviation from the shear flow geometry or in the P´eclet number of general random Gaussian
velocity fields. Our explicit expressions allow us to investigate the role of inertia for such
a class of flows and to make exact links with the analogous transport problem for tracer
particles.
