Abstract: Tracer dispersion is governed by the velocity fluctuations that the particles are subjected to during their movement. The fluctuation of particle velocity is due to deviations from the mean velocity in the flow field and also to the change of the streamline caused by diffusion. The lattice-BGK method is a good tool to investigate the interaction of both of them, because it models the flow field in detail with even small flow structures. A serious drawback of direct simulations are the requirements in computer time and memory. For spatially periodic media, this can be overcome by using the generalized Taylor-dispersion method to calculate the asymptotic effective dispersion from a solution in an elementary cell. This solution is obtained by simulations with an FHP-BGK-lattice gas. Joining the two methods yields a tool to study the effective dispersion constant of a given periodic geometry.
