Given a velocity field $u(x,t)$, we consider the evolution of a passive tracer $\theta$ governed by $\partial_t\theta + u\cdot\nabla\theta = \Delta\theta + g$ with time-independent source $g(x)$. When $\|u\|$ is small in some sense,…
We consider the behaviour of a passive tracer $\theta$ governed by $\partial_t\theta + u\cdot\nabla\theta = \Delta\theta + g$ in two space dimensions with prescribed smooth random incompressible velocity $u(x,t)$ and source $g(x)$. In 1959,…
This study revisits the problem of advective transfer and spectra of a diffusive scalar field in large-scale incompressible flows in the presence of a (large-scale) source. By ``large-scale'' it is meant that the spectral support of the…
Forced advection of passive tracer, $\theta $, in nonlinear relaxational medium by large scale (Batchelor problem) incompressible velocity field at scales less than the correlation length of the flow and larger than the diffusion scale is…
In 1959, Batchelor predicted that the stationary statistics of passive scalars advected in fluids with small diffusivity $\kappa$ should display a $|k|^{-1}$ power spectrum along an inertial range contained in the viscous-convective range…
The stationary distribution of passive tracers chaotically advected by a two-dimensional large-scale flow is investigated. The tracer field is force by resetting the value of the tracer in certain localised regions. This problem is…
We study the long-time behavior of a passive scalar transported by an incompressible flow in the presence of smooth, deterministic forcing. For a specific spatially Lipschitz and time-periodic velocity field, we prove that all sufficiently…
Statistical theory of turbulence in viscid incompressible fluid, described by the Navier-Stokes equation driven by random force, is reformulated in terms of scale-dependent fields $\mathbf{u}_a(x)$, defined as wavelet-coefficients of the…
An isotropic passive scalar field $T$ advected by a rapidly-varying velocity field is studied. The tail of the probability distribution $P(\theta,r)$ for the difference $\theta$ in $T$ across an inertial-range distance $r$ is found to be…
Steady statistics of a passive scalar advected by a random two-dimensional flow of an incompressible fluid is described in the range of scales between the correlation length of the flow and the diffusion scale. That corresponds to the…
The Batchelor passive advection is an advection by a smooth velocity field. If the velocity field is a delta-correlated in time random Gaussian process, then the problem is reduced to quantum mechanics of fluctuating velocity gradient…
In this paper we prove the law of large numbers and central limit theorem for trajectories of a particle carried by a two dimensional Eulerian velocity field. The field is given by a solution of a stochastic Navier--Stokes system with a…
Though highly impacting our lives, rotating turbulent flows are not well understood. These anisotropic three-dimensional disordered flows are governed by different nonlinear processes, each of which can be dominant in a different range of…
Scaling exponents are the central quantitative prediction of theories of turbulence and in-situ satellite observations of the high Reynolds number solar wind flow have provided an extensive testbed of these. We propose a general, instrument…
We consider turbulent advection of a scalar field $T(\B.r)$, passive or active, and focus on the statistics of gradient fields conditioned on scalar differences $\Delta T(R)$ across a scale $R$. In particular we focus on two conditional…
The influence of compressibility on the stability of the scaling regimes of the passive scalar advected by a Gaussian velocity field with finite correlation time is investigated by the field theoretic renormalization group within two-loop…
Predicting when a three-dimensional turbulent flow reaches its dissipation peak is essential for both theory and adaptive algorithms in simulations and experiments. Using direct numerical simulations (DNSs) of the Taylor--Green vortex (TGV)…
We show that the decay of a passive scalar $\theta$ advected by a random incompressible flow with zero correlation time in Batchelor limit can be mapped exactly to a certain quantum-mechanical system with a finite number of degrees of…
We report a significant finding in Quintessence theory that the the scalar fields with tracker potentials have a model-independent scaling behaviour in the expanding universe. So far widely discussed exponential,power law or hyperbolic…
The effect of anisotropy on the statistics of a passive tracer transported by a turbulent flow is investigated. We show that under broad conditions an arbitrarily small amount of anisotropy propagates to the large scales where it eventually…
