Direct Numerical Simulations of the Kraichnan Model: Scaling Exponents and Fusion Rules
arXiv:chao-dyn/9707003 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.79.4166
Abstract
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 with the scaling exponents predicted for this model by Kraichnan. Further, we test the recently proposed fusion rules which govern the scaling properties of multi-point correlations, and present results on the linearity of the conditional statistics of the Laplacian operator on the scalar field.
