We study the fluctuations of particles sliding on a stochastically growing surface. This problem can be mapped to motion of passive scalars in a randomly stirred Burger's flow. Renormalization group studies, simulations, and scaling…

How does a steady state with strong intermittency develop in time from an initial state which is statistically random? For passive sliders driven by various fluctuating surfaces, we show that the approach involves an indefinitely growing…
We investigate statistical properties of the passive scalar near boundaries (walls) in random (turbulent) flows assuming weakness of its diffusion. Then at advanced stages of the passive scalar mixing its unmixed residue is concentrated in…
We show that non-Markovianity of the velocity field is an essential property of turbulent mixing. We demonstrate this via passive scalar mixing by synthetically generated stochastic velocity fields. Including a separate velocity…

We report on the decay of a passive scalar in chaotic mixing protocols where the wall of the vessel is rotated, or a net drift of fluid elements near the wall is induced at each period. As a result the fluid domain is divided into a central…
Anomalous scaling problem in the stochastic Navier-Stokes equation is treated in the framework of the field theoretical approach, successfully applied earlier to the Kraichnan rapid advection model. Two cases of the space dimensions d=2 and…
We investigate the large-scale statistics of a passive scalar transported by a turbulent velocity field. At scales larger than the characteristic lengthscale of scalar injection, yet smaller than the correlation length of the velocity, the…
We present results from direct numerical simulations of the Kraichnan model for passive scalar advection by a rapidly-varying random scaling velocity field for intermediate values of the velocity scaling exponent. These results are compared…
We develop a stochastic model for the velocity gradients dynamics along a Lagrangian trajectory. Comparing with different attempts proposed in the literature, the present model, at the cost of introducing a free parameter known in…
A recent analysis of the 4-point correlation function of the passive scalar advected by a time-decorrelated random flow is extended to the N-point case. It is shown that all stationary-state inertial-range correlations are dominated by…
