Asymptotic theory of classical tracer transport in inhomogeneous and nonstationary media. Hamilton's formalism
P. S. Kondratenko, L. V. Matveev Nuclear Safety Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow
Abstract:
We develop an asymptotic theory of tracer transport due to diffusion and advection, when the diffusivity and advection velocity vary slowly over space and time. The tracer concentration is expressed through a single time integral. The integrand is determined by solving first-order ordinary differential equations, which are similar to Hamilton's equations for a material point in classical mechanics.
Keywords:
diffusion, advection, asymptotic form, Hamilton's equations.
