摘要
The advection of a passive scalar field by a rapidly decorrelating random velocity field with power-law scaling is computed by simulations in a cyclic square at resolutions of 4096(2) and 8192(2) grid points. Structure functions of the scalar field are measured and inertial-range scaling exponents are determined. The conditional mean of the scalar-field dissipation term and its moments are found. The results are compared with theoretical predictions and with other recent simulations. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics. [S1070-6631(98)00211-6]
