In 1954, Taylor [1] investigated, both theoretically and experimentally, the motion of particles suspended in a fluid in Poiseuille flow through a cylindrical tube. He observed that, while the particles are being carried downstream (that is, along the tube's axis x) with an average velocity ff equal to that of the fluid, they are also being dispersed in a diffusion-like manner, around this average motion. More precisely, he proved that the probability density P (x, t) for observing a suspended particle at position x at time t, obeys the following convection-diffusion (or Fokker-Planck) equation, for (asymptotically) large times t:
