At the edge of a cloud of Brownian particles

We study a simple model for the trajectory of a particle in a turbulent fluid, where a Brownian motion travels through a random Gaussian velocity field. We study the quenched law of the process and prove that in a weak environment setting, the fluctuations at the transition from weak to strong disorder are described by the KPZ equation. We conjecture the same is true without the assumption of a weak environment.
