“…A frequently considered assumption in oceanographic and other flows [38,59,29], this form of model has additional appeal since it can be considered a particular realisation of a stochastic perturbation, a theme which is attracting considerable recent attention [41,53,62]. From the microfluidic perspective, this assumption has value when the idea is to disturb a steady laminar flow (in which transport is suppressed) by imposing an agitation velocity in order to promote transport [72,76,75,10,9]. [28,49,30,17] have been suggested to tackle this.)…”
