Effective diffusive behaviour for passive tracers and inertial particles : homogenization and numerical algorithms

The long-time / large-scales behaviour of solutions to stochastic differentials equations (SDEs) describing the motion of a single particle in a velocity field subject to molecular diffusion is the central topic of this thesis. The particle can be considered mass-less (passive tracers) or not (inert...
