摘要
Fluctuations of a passive scalar concentration in a random velocity field are considered. Statistical quantities related to the spatial derivatives of the concentration field are calculated in the presence of a nonzero mean concentration gradient and in the delta-correlation approximation. This permits an estimation of the stationary variance of the concentration, which has a logarithmic dependence on the molecular diffusion coefficient. Conditions for the applicability of the delta-correlated approximation in this problem are obtained.
