Abstract

In this contribution we review different aspects of passive transport in fluids. Two classes of problems are considered: inert substances and substances that are chemically (or biologically) reactive. Concerning the first issue we discuss in particular the problem of standard and anomalous asymptotic diffusion for single particle statistics and the problem of relative dispersion of particle pairs in chaotic and turbulent flows. For what concerns the issue of reacting transport we study the dependence of the front speed on the flow characteristics, considering the case of reaction that is slow or fast with respect to the typical time scales of the advection.
