The Obukhov-Corrsin theory of scalar turbulence [Obu49, Cor51] advances quantitative predictions on passive-scalar advection in a turbulent regime and can be regarded as the analogue for passive scalars of Kolmogorov's K41 theory of fully…
We consider the advection of a passive scalar by a divergence free random Gaussian field, white in time and H\"older regular in space (rough Kraichnan's model), a well established synthetic model of passive scalar turbulence. By studying…
Differential models for hydrodynamic, passive-scalar and wave turbulence given by nonlinear first- and second-order evolution equations for the energy spectrum in the $k$-space were analysed. Both types of models predict formation an…
Two dimensional passive scalar turbulence is studied by means of a k-space diffusion model based on a third order differential approximation. This simple description of local nonlinear interactions in Fourier space is shown to present a…
The effects of a large-scale shear on the energy spectrum of a passively advected scalar field are investigated. The shear is superimposed on a turbulent isotropic flow, yielding an Obukhov-Corrsin $k^{-5/3}$ scalar spectrum at small…
Self-consistent closure theory for passive-scalar turbulence has been developed on the basis of the Hessian of the scalar field. As a primitive indicator of spatial structure of the scalar, we employ the Hessian into the core of the theory…
According to the celebrated Bolgiano--Obukhov \citep{Bolgiano_1959,Obukhov_1959} phenomenology for moderately stably stratified turbulence, the energy spectrum in the inertial range shows a dual scaling; the kinetic energy follows (i) $\sim…
For any $\beta_0<1/3$ we construct divergence free vector fields in $ C_{x,t}^{\beta_0}$ and a sequence of diffusivities $\kappa_q \searrow 0$ such that, for an arbitrary initial datum from a low regularity class, the classical solution…
We provide a concise PDE-based proof of anomalous diffusion in the Kraichan model -- a stochastic, white-in-time model of passive scalar turbulence. That is, we show an exponential rate of $L^2$ decay in expectation of a passive scalar…
We study anomalous dissipation in hydrodynamic turbulence in the context of passive scalars. Our main result produces an incompressible $C^\infty([0,T)\times \mathbb{T}^d)\cap L^1([0,T]; C^{1-}(\mathbb{T}^d))$ velocity field which…
Kraichnan's model of passive scalar advection in which the driving velocity field has fast temporal decorrelation is studied as a case model for understanding the appearance of anomalous scaling in turbulent systems. We demonstrate how the…
We prove the absence of anomalous dissipation for passive scalars driven by some random autonomous divergence-free vector fields in $\mathbb T^d$. In dimension $d=2$ we just need continuity almost surely and a mild nondegeneracy condition…
For all $\alpha \in (0,1)$, we construct an explicit divergence-free vector field $V \in L^\infty([0,1],C^\alpha(\mathbb{T}^2))$ that exhibits universal anomalous (total) dissipation, accelerating dissipation enhancement, Richardson…
Field theoretic renormalization group is applied to the Kraichnan model of a passive scalar advected by the Gaussian velocity field with the covariance $<{\bf v}(t,{\bf x}){\bf v}(t',{\bf x})> - <{\bf v}(t,{\bf x}){\bf v}(t',{\bf x'})>…
This work investigates a passive vector field which is transported and stretched by a divergence-free Gaussian velocity field, delta-correlated in time and poorly correlated in space (spatially nonsmooth). Although the advection of a scalar…
The renormalization group and operator product expansion are applied to the model of a passive scalar quantity advected by the Gaussian self-similar velocity field with finite, and not small, correlation time. The inertial-range energy…
The problem of the interplay between normal and anomalous scaling in turbulent systems stirred by a random forcing with a power law spectrum is addressed. We consider both linear and nonlinear systems. As for the linear case, we study…
The decay of scalar variance in isotropic turbulence in a bounded domain is investigated. Extending the study of Touil, Bertoglio and Shao (2002; Journal of Turbulence, 03, 49) to the case of a passive scalar, the effect of the finite size…
We present a new method for the generation of atmospheric turbulence phase screens based on the frequency shift property of the Fourier transform. This method produces low spatial frequency distortions without additional computation time…
We establish anomalous inertial range scaling of structure functions for a model of advection of a passive scalar by a random velocity field. The velocity statistics is taken gaussian with decorrelation in time and velocity differences…
