Directed Percolation Process Advected by Compressible Velocity Field

Abstract

The directed percolation process in the vicinity of non-equilibrium phase transition is studied by the means of field theoretic methods. It will be assumed that percolation takes place in a compressible environment, which will be generated by the modified Kraichnan model. We will discuss differ- ences with the incompressible case and describe how the given model can be renormalized. The renormalization constants will be given to the one-loop order.
