On the asymptotic behavior of thermal taylor dispersion processes in periodic media

Claudia Timofte
Using the generalized method of moments and a central limit theorem, we shall describe a large class of thermal dispersion phenomena occurring in some macrohomogeneous systems. We shall be interested in computing the macroscale coefficients in terms of the microscale coefficients and the system geometry. Also, the functional dependence of the effective coefficients on the velocity and the spatial scale parameters is analyzed.
