β¦ Synopsis
Recent work in adaptive importance sampling is applied to Markov chain models for Monte Carlo simulations. When this technique is incorporated into the simulation of physical processes, it can give orders-of-magnitude improvement in convergence times relative to standard approaches. We review the related methodology and illustrate its application.

Stochastic models of turbulent atmospheric dispersion treat either the particle displacement or particle velocity as a continuous time Markov process. An analysis of these processes using stochastic differential equation theory shows that previous particle displacement models have not correctly simu
