Advection of a passive scalar field by turbulent compressible fluid: renormalization group analysis near d=4d = 4

The field theoretic renormalization group (RG) and the operator product expansion (OPE) are applied to the model of a density field advected by a random turbulent velocity field. 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.Comment: 11pages, 6 figures, LATEX2e. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1611.00327; text overlap with arXiv:1611.0130

Stochastic Navier–Stokes Equation with Colored Noise: Renormalization Group Analysis

In this work we study the fully developed turbulence described by the stochastic Navier–Stokes equation with finite correlation time of random force. Inertial-range asymptotic behavior is studied in one-loop approximation and by means of the field theoretic renormalization group. The inertial-range behavior of the model is described by limiting case of vanishing correlation time that corresponds to the nontrivial fixed point of the RG equation. Another fixed point is a saddle type point, i.e., it is infrared attractive only in one of two possible directions. The existence and stability of fixed points depends on the relation between the exponents in the energy spectrum ε ∝ k1−y and the dispersion law ω ∝ k2−η

Dynamic hysteresis loops of the spin-2 bilayer Ising model

Based on the mean-field theory and Glauber-type stochastic dynamics, the dynamic hysteresis loops (DHLs) of the spin-2 Ising model are studied on the bilayer square lattice. The DHLs are given for different values of temperature, crystal-field, exchange interaction and oscillating field frequency. It is found that the physical parameters have a strong effect on the shape and number of the DHLs. The results are compared with some theoretical and experimental works and found in a qualitatively good agreement
