This is a joint work of Dukjin Nam (Ph.D. student) with Dr. Efendiev (Texas A&M) and Dr. Novikov (Penn. State). The goal of this project is to develop an efficient multiscale numerical technique for solving turbulent diffusion equation. The work is based on a recent work of Dr. Novikov (with G.Papanicolaou and L.Ryzhik) "Boundary layers for cellular flows at high Peclet numbers", Comm. Pure Appl. Math., vol.58 (2005), no. 7, pp. 867-922.
