Shell Model for Time-correlated Random Advection of Passive Scalars

chao-dyn 2009-10-31 v3 Chaotic Dynamics

Abstract

We study a minimal shell model for the advection of a passive scalar by a Gaussian time correlated velocity field. The anomalous scaling properties of the white noise limit are studied analytically. The effect of the time correlations are investigated using perturbation theory around the white noise limit and non-perturbatively by numerical integration. The time correlation of the velocity field is seen to enhance the intermittency of the passive scalar.
