    The author develops a new numerical code that simulates particle diffusion in anisotropic turbulence in the presence of magnetic fields. The novel part of the code is a modified turbulence spectrum and the possibility of inclusion of an anisotropic background magnetic field. The code is applied to cosmic ray transport processes in the solar environment.
