AN HYPOTHESIS CONCERNING TURBULENT DIFFUSION
Keyword(s):
It is shown that the Goldstein equation for turbulent diffusion implies diffusion currents dependent upon the history of the concentration gradient. An analysis of the stochastic model upon which the Goldstein equation is based reveals that the hereditary function, by which the history is weighted, is the ensemble autocorrelation function of velocity. Heuristic arguments and an appeal to the theory of irreversible thermodynamic processes lead to the postulation of an integro-differential equation for turbulent diffusion involving the velocity autocorrelations of the diffusate particles.
