Résumé : We agree with the results presented in the previous Comment [Phys. Rev. E 66, 038301 (2002)] concerning the equality, at any time moment, of the average Lagrangian and Eulerian velocities in two-dimensional incompressible stochastic velocity fields. We show that this statistical invariance is the effect of a complex nonlinear process that determines particle trapping and a compensatory acceleration of the nontrapped particles. We discuss the possibility of developing the decorrelation trajectory method which is able to describe the process of trapping but not the statistical acceleration. © 2002 The American Physical Society.
