The latter is governed by the stochastic Navier-Stokes equation for a compressible fluid. The model is considered near the special space dimension $d = 4$. It is shown that various correlation functions of the scalar field exhibit anomalous scaling behaviour in the inertial-convective range. The scaling properties in the RG+OPE approach are related to fixed points of the renormalization group equations. In comparison with physically interesting case $d = 3$, at $d = 4$ additional Green function has divergences which affect the existence and stability of fixed points. From calculations it follows that a new regime arises there and then by continuity moves into $d = 3$. The corresponding anomalous exponents are identified with scaling dimensions of certain composite fields and can be systematically calculated as series in $y$ (the exponent, connected with random force) and $\\epsilon=4-d$. All calculations are performed in the leading one-loop approximation.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-11-11T14:07:41.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "renormalization group analysis", "passive scalar field", "turbulent compressible fluid", "field theoretic renormalization group", "random turbulent velocity field" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
