Turbulence consists of interacting flow structures covering a wide range of length and time scales. A long-standing question looms over pair diffusion of particles in close proximity i.e. particle pair diffusion at small separations: what…

Diffusion of impenetrable particles in a crowded one-dimensional channel is referred as the single file diffusion. The particles do not pass each other and the displacement of each individual particle is sub-diffusive. We analyse a simple…
Diffusion has been widely used to describe a random walk of particles or waves, and it requires only one parameter -- the diffusion constant. For waves, however, diffusion is an approximation that disregards the possibility of interference.…
The pioneering work of G.I. Taylor on the turbulent dispersion of aerosols is exactly one century old and provides an original way of introducing both diffusive processes and turbulence at an undergraduate level. Light enough particles…
Computer simulations were done of the mean square displacement (MSD) of tracer particles in colloidal gels formed by diffusion or reaction limited aggregation of hard spheres. The diffusion coefficient was found to be determined by the…
