Everything about Eddy diffusion
Mixing of fluids due to eddy currents
In fluid dynamics, eddy diffusion, eddy dispersion, or turbulent diffusion is a process by which fluid substances mix together due to eddy motion. These eddies can vary widely in size, from subtropical ocean gyres down to the small Kolmogorov microscales, and occur as a result of turbulence. The theory of eddy diffusion was first developed by Sir Geoffrey Ingram Taylor. Wikipedia →
