The large-scale structure of passive scalar turbulence
Antonio Celani, Agnese Seminara
Abstract
We investigate the large-scale statistics of a passive scalar transported by a turbulent velocity field. At scales larger than the characteristic lengthscale of scalar injection, yet smaller than the correlation length of the velocity, the advected field displays persistent long-range correlations due to the underlying turbulent velocity. These induce significant deviations from equilibrium statistics for high-order scalar correlations, despite the absence of scalar flux.
