摘要：

We consider the evolution of a passive scalar advected by a velocity field which is a superposition of random linear waves. An equation for the average concentration of the passive scalar is derived tin the limit of small molecular diffusion) using the weak turbulence methodology. In addition to the enhanced diffusion, this equation contains the correction to the (Stokes) drift. Both of these terms have the fourth order with respect to wave amplitudes. The formulas for the coefficients of turbulent diffusion and turbulent drift are derived. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
