Lagrangian views on turbulent mixing of passive scalars

Katepalli R. Sreenivasan, Jörg Schumacher

Research output: Contribution to journal › Review article › peer-review

Abstract

The Lagrangian view of passive scalar turbulence has recently produced interesting results and interpretations. Innovations in theory, experiments, simulations and data analysis of Lagrangian turbulence are reviewed here in brief. Part of the review is closely related to the so-called Kraichnan model for the advection of the passive scalar in synthetic turbulence. Possible implications for a better understanding of the passive scalar mixing in Navier-Stokes turbulence are also discussed.
