Abstract
The anomalous scaling behavior of the nth order correlation functions [formula presented] of the Kraichnan model of turbulent passive scalar advection is believed to be dominated by the homogeneous solutions (zero modes) of the Kraichnan equation B-|[formula presented][formula presented]=0. Previous analysis found zero modes in perturbation theory with respect to a small parameter. We present a computer-assisted analysis of the simplest nontrivial case of n=3: we demonstrate nonperturbatively the existence of anomalous scaling, and compare the results with the perturbative predictions.
