Abstract

Lagrangian velocity correlations are certain quantities in turbulent diffusion because of Taylor’s relation, which expresses the mean square displacements of fluid particles as a double integral over time of two-time Lagrangian velocity correlations. Taylor’s relation also has important physical consequences for anomalous transport. Indeed, long-range correlations are responsible for anomalous transport.
