Abstract

This paper concerns the Taylor-Aris dispersion of a dilute solute concentration immersed in a highly heterogeneous fluid flow having possibly sharp interfaces (discontinuities) in the diffusion coefficient and flow velocity. The focus is twofold: (i) calculation of the longitudinal effective dispersion coefficient and (ii) sample path analysis of the underlying stochastic process governing the motion of solute particles. Essentially complete solutions are obtained for both problems.
