Abstract
Using an elementary application of Birkhoff's ergodic theorem, necessary and sufficient conditions are given for the existence of asymptotically t^2 dispersion of a distribution of nondiffusive passive tracer in a class of incompressible laminar flows. Nonergodicity is shown to be the dynamical mechanism giving rise to this behavior.
