Liouville models of particle-laden flow
Preprint
Abstract
Langevin (stochastic differential) equations are routinely used to describe particle-laden flows. They predict Gaussian probability density functions (PDFs) of a particle's trajectory and velocity, even though experimentally observed dynamics might be highly non-Gaussian. Our Liouville approach overcomes this dichotomy by replacing the Wiener process in the Langevin models with a (small) set of random variables, whose distributions are tuned to match the observed statistics.Keywords
