Abstract:
Using the perturbative renormalization group, we study the influence of a random velocity field on the kinetics of the single-species annihilation reaction A+A→∅ at and below its critical dimension dc=2. We use the second-quantization formalism of Doi to bring the stochastic problem to a field theory form. We investigate the reaction in spaces of dimension d∼2 using a two-parameter expansion in ϵ and Δ, where ϵ is the deviation from the Kolmogorov scaling parameter and Δ is the deviation from the space dimension d=2. We evaluate all the necessary quantities, including fixed points with their regions of stability, up to the second order of the perturbation theory.
