摘要
It is shown that a necessary and sufficient condition for the scalar dissipation rate, conditioned on scalar value-phi, to be independent of phi is that the one-point scalar probability distribution function (pdf) is Gaussian. It is then shown that the amplitude mapping closure yields a closed-form, separable expression for the phi-dependence of the conditional dissipation rate in the case of an initial double-delta scalar pdf. If the initial binary scalar field is located at phi = +/- 1, the solution is exp{ - 2[erf-1(phi)]2}, a result that is strongly supported by earlier direct numerical simulations.
