Аннотация:
We analyze the Lagrangian flow in a family of simple Gaussian scale-invariant velocity ensembles that exhibit both spatial roughness and temporal correlations. We argue that the behavior of the Lagrangian dispersion of pairs of fluid particles in such models is determined by the scale dependence of the ratio between the correlation time of velocity differences and the eddy turnover time. For a non-trivial scale dependence, the asymptotic regimes of the dispersion at small and large scales are described by the models with either rapidly decorrelating or frozen velocities. In contrast to the decorrelated case, known as the Kraichnan model and exhibiting Lagrangian flows with deterministic or stochastic trajectories, fast separating or trapped together, the frozen model is poorly understood. We examine the pair dispersion behavior in its simplest, onedimensional version, reinforcing analytic arguments by numerical analysis. The collected information about the pair dispersion statistics in the limiting models allows to partially predict the extent of different phases of the Lagrangian flow in the model with time-correlated velocities.
