Abstract:
We consider the model of turbulent advection of a passive vector field φ by a two-dimensional random velocity field uncorrelated in time and having Gaussian statistics with a powerlike correlator. The renormalization group and operator product expansion methods show that the asymptotic form of the structure functions of the φ field in the inertial range is determined by the fluctuations of the energy dissipation rate. The dependence of the asymptotic form on the external turbulence scale is essential and has a powerlike form (anomalous scaling). The corresponding exponents are determined by the spectrum of the anomalous dimension matrices of operator families consisting of gradients of φ. We find a basis constructed from powers of the dissipation and enstrophy operators in which these matrices have a triangular form in all orders of the perturbation theory. In the two-loop approximation, we evaluate the anomalous-scaling exponents for the structure functions of an arbitrary order.
