Abstract

Advection-diffusion problems of magnetic field and tracer field are analyzed using the field theoretic perturbative renormalization group. Both advected fields are considered to be passive, i.e., without any influence on the turbulent environment, and advecting velocity field is generated by compressible version of stochastic Navier-Stokes equation. The model is considered in the vicinity of space dimension d=4d=4 and is a continuation of previous work [N.V. Antonov et al., Phys. Rev. E 95, 033120 (2017)]. The perturbation theory near the special dimension d=4d=4 is constructed within a double expansion scheme in yy (which describes scaling behavior of the random force that enters a stochastic equation for the velocity field) and ϵ=4d\epsilon=4-d. We show that up to one-loop approximation both types of advected fields exhibit similar universal scaling behavior. In particular, we demonstrate this statement on the inertial range asymptotic behavior of the correlation functions of advected fields. The critical dimensions of tensor composite operators are calculated in the leading order of (y,ϵ)(y,\epsilon) expansion.
