One of the most important properties of turbulence is its ability to mix and disperse particles and substances. The aim of this course is to provide a deep knowledge on the underlying mechanisms, in order to gain a qualitative phenomenological understanding and quantitative modeling skills.
The lecture is split in two main parts, one dedicated to the Lagrangian description of turbulence (transport of fluid tracers), which is the natural framework to describe the turbulent transport and mixing of passive substances, while the other addresses the transport of inertial particles whose dynamics deviates from that of fluid tracers.
