Abstract
We study the passive transport of a scalar field by a spatially smooth but white-in-time incompressible Gaussian random velocity field on . If the velocity field is homogeneous, isotropic, and statistically self-similar, we derive an exact formula which captures non-diffusive mixing. For zero diffusivity, the formula takes the shape of with any and where is the top Lyapunov exponent associated to the random Lagrangian flow generated by and is small-scale shear rate of the velocity. Moreover, the mixing is shown to hold in diffusivity.
