摘要
A path integral over trajectories of 2n fluid particles is identified with a 2nth order correlation function of a passive scalar convected by d-dimensional short-correlated multiscale incompressible random velocity flow. Strong intermittency of the scalar is described by means of an instanton calculus (saddle point plus fluctuations about it) in the path integral at n much greater than d. The anomalous scaling exponent of the 2nth scalar's structural function is found analytically.
