@article{ISI:000232229800031, abstract = {We present the first study of the dynamic scaling or multiscaling of passive-scalar turbulence. For the Kraichnan version of passive-scalar turbulence we show analytically, in both Eulerian and quasi-Lagrangian frameworks, that simple dynamic scaling is obtained but with different dynamic exponents. By developing the multifractal model we show that dynamic multiscaling occurs in passive-scalar turbulence only if the advecting velocity field is itself multifractal. We substantiate our results by detailed numerical simulations in shell models of passive-scalar advection.}, article-number = {144501}, author = {Mitra, D and Pandit, R}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.95.144501}, eissn = {1079-7114}, issn = {0031-9007}, journal = {PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS}, month = {SEP 30}, number = {14}, times-cited = {14}, title = {Dynamics of passive-scalar turbulence}, unique-id = {ISI:000232229800031}, volume = {95}, year = {2005} }
