Large deviations in Taylor dispersion

Statistical Mechanics 2017-02-01 v1

Abstract

We establish a link between the phenomenon of Taylor dispersion and the theory of empirical distributions. Using this connection, we derive, upon applying the theory of large deviations, an alternative and much more precise description of the long-time regime for Taylor dispersion.
