A solution to the dispersion of small particles suspended in a turbulent fluid is presented, based on the approximation proposed by Phythian for the dispersion of fluid points in an incompressible random fluid. Motion is considered in a frame moving with the mean velocity of the fluid, the forces acting on the particle being taken as gravity and a fluid drag assumed linear in the particle velocity relative to that of the fluid. The probability distribution of the fluid velocity field in this frame is taken as Gaussian, homogeneous, isotropic, stationary and of zero mean. It is shown that, in the absence of gravity, the long-time particle diffusion coefficient is in general greater than that of the fluid, approaching with increasing particle relaxation time a value consistent with the particle being in an Eulerian frame of reference. The effect of gravity is consistent with Yudine's effect of crossing trajectories, reducing unequally the particle diffusion in directions normal to and parallel to the direction of the gravitational field. To characterize the effect of flow and gravity on particle diffusion it has been found useful to use a Froude number defined in terms of the turbulent intensity rather than the mean velocity. Depending upon the value of this number, it is found that the particle integral time scale may initially decrease with increasing particle relaxation time though it eventually rises and approaches the particle relaxation time. It is finally shown how this analysis may be extended to include the extra forces generated by the fluid and particle accelerations.
