摘要：

The probability density function (PDF) of passive scalar dissipation P(epsilon) is found analytically in the limit of large Peclet and Prandtl numbers (Batchelor-Kraichnan regime) in two dimensions. The tail of PDF at epsilon >> [epsilon] is shown to be stretched exponent ln P(epsilon) proportional to epsilon(1/3); at epsilon << [epsilon], P proportional to 1/root epsilon.
