Abstract

Foundations of the analysis of scaling in randomly stirred compressible fluid with the aid of stochastic differential equations are discussed in the example of perfect gas. The structure of the stress tensor with nonnegative shear and bulk viscosities is determined in dd-dimensional space. It is argued that the steady cascade picture of energy transfer is compatible with generic hydrodynamic equations. A renormalizable model of randomly stirred polytropic fluid is put forward and it is shown that this model should be used for description of randomly stirred perfect gas instead of the model of 'isothermal' fluid.
