摘要
A Lagrangian method for the numerical simulation of the Kraichnan passive scalar model is introduced. The method is based on Monte Carlo simulations of tracer trajectories, supplemented by a point-splitting procedure for coinciding points. Clean scaling behavior for scalar structure functions is observed. The scheme is exploited to investigate the dependence of scalar anomalies on the scaling exponent xi of the advecting velocity field. The three-dimensional fourth-order structure function is specifically considered.
