Abstract
A lot of turbulence models are based on the turbulent viscosity concept. This results in the introduction of a non uniform diffusion process in the Navier Stokes equations. The aim of this work is to investigate the capability of some existing particle modelling to solve this kind of problem. Three different methods have been selected, the Strength Exchange Method, the Random Vortex Method and the Diffusion Velocity Method. All three methods have been tested on the problem of the turbulent transport of a passive scalar in a jet.

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.

• If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
• You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
• You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
