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, Batchelor, Howells…
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,…
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…
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…
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…
In 1959, Batchelor gave a prediction for the power spectral density of a passive scalar advected by an incompressible fluid exhibiting shear-straining, a mechanism for the creation of small scales in the scalar [Bat59]. Recently, a…
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…
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…
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…
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…
We consider the power spectrum of a biased tracer observed in a finite volume in the presence of a large-scale overdensity and tidal fields. Expanding both the observed power spectrum and the source fields (linear power spectrum, scalar…
We show that the $P_u(\om) \propto \om^{-7/3}$ shear velocity power spectrum gives rise to a $P_\Theta (\om ) \propto \om^{-4/3}$ power spectrum for a passively advected scalar, as measured in experiment [K. Sreenivasan, Proc. R. Soc.…
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…
We develop an effective theory for biased tracers formulated at the level of the Boltzmann equation, providing a unified description of density and velocity bias. We introduce a general effective collision term in the tracer Boltzmann…
Most of the upcoming cosmological information will come from analyzing the clustering of the Large Scale Structures (LSS) of the universe through LSS or CMB observations. It is therefore essential to be able to understand their behavior…
One of the primitive aims of the two-dimensional BTW model had been to explain the $1/f^{\alpha}$ noise which is widely seen in the natural systems. In this paper we study some time signals, namely the activity inside an avalanche ($x(t)$),…
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 recent BICEP2 detection of degree scale CMB B-mode polarization, coupled with a deficit of observed power in large angle temperature anisotropy, suggest that the slow-roll parameter $\epsilon_H$, the fractional variation in the Hubble…
Advection of a passive scalar $\theta$ in $d=2$ by a large-scale velocity field rapidly changing in time is considered. The Gaussian feature of the passive scalar statistics in the convective interval was discovered in \cite{95CFKLa}. Here…
This study is concerned with the decay behaviour of a passive scalar $\theta$ in three-dimensional flows having bounded velocity gradients. Given an initially smooth scalar distribution, the decay rate $d<\theta^2>/dt$ of the scalar…
