Non-Perturbative Zero Modes in the Kraichnan Model for Turbulent Advection

Abstract

The anomalous scaling behavior of the n-th order correlation functions ${\cal F}_n$ of the Kraichnan model of turbulent passive scalar advection is believed to be dominated by the homogeneous solutions (zero-modes) of the Kraichnan equation $\hat{\cal B}_n {\cal F}_n=0$. Previous analysis found zero-modes in perturbation theory in a small parameter. We present non-perturbative analysis of the simplest (non-trivial) case of n=3 and compare the results with the perturbative predictions.
