Renormalization group analysis of a turbulent compressible fluid near $d = 4$ : Crossover between local and non-local scaling regimes

Abstract

We study scaling properties of the model of fully developed turbulence for a compressible fluid, based on the stochastic Navier-Stokes equation, by means of the field theoretic renormalization group (RG). The scaling properties in this approach are related to fixed points of the RG equation. Here we study a possible existence of other scaling regimes and an opportunity of a crossover between them. This may take place in some other space dimensions, particularly at $d = 4$. A new regime may there arise and then by continuity moves into $d = 3$. Our calculations have shown that there really exists an additional fixed point, that may govern scaling behaviour.
