Abstract
One- and two-dimensional models of magnetic field fluctuations and turbulence are widely used in space-, astrophysical, and laboratory contexts. In the present article we use a generalized form of the turbulence wave spectrum to calculate field line diffusion coefficients analytically and numerically. General conditions are derived for which field line wandering behaves subdiffusively, diffusively, and superdiffusively.
