Polystochastic models describe systems whose mode of evolution varies randomly according to the rule given by a hierarchy of conditioning processes. The author discusses the models used for random flow, the dynamics of dispersed systems, real flow and turbulent mixing. Attention is focussed on the fundamental role played by polystochastic models in chemical engineering. The author also draws attention to other areas of application such as the optimization of stochastic systems, dynamic programming and decision sciences, adaptive systems, communications and biophysics.
