An exact analysis of the diffusion of droplets in turbulent flow, taking account of the random nature of the flow and the range of length and time scales, is very involved and the equations derived are not necessarily capable of solution. For this reason spray models have usually not included liquid turbulent diffusion effects. Simpler models of turbulent diffusion of droplets are compared in this paper and equations suitable for insertion into existing spray models, which require little extra computational effort are derived.
