Concentration Fluctuations in Turbulent Flow

The aim of this work is the formulation of a mathematical model for reacting turbulent flows and its validation through comparison with other models and experimental data. The model is based on the Lagrangian statistical description of the turbulent diffusion, developed firstly for the turbulent dispersion of one particle in homogeneous flows and later gradually extended to non homogeneous flows (Van Dop, 1985) and two-particle dispersion (Durbin, 1980, Thomson, 1990, Borgas and Sawford, 1994).
