We have investigated the advection of a passive scalar quantity by incom-
pressible helical turbulent flow within the framework of extended Kraich-
nan model. Turbulent fluctuations of velocity field are assumed to have
the Gaussian statistics with zero mean and defined noise with finite time-
correlation. Actual calculations have been done up to two-loop approxima-
tion within the framework of field-theoretic renormalization group approach.
It turned out that space parity violation (helicity) of turbulent environment
does not affect anomalous scaling which is a peculiar attribute of the corre-
sponding model without helicity. However, stability of asymptotic regimes,
where anomalous scaling takes place, strongly depends on the amount of
helicity. Moreover, helicity gives rise to the turbulent diffusivity, which has
been calculated in one-loop approximation.

1. Introduction
One of the main problems in the modern theory of fully developed turbulence
is to verify the basic principles of the celebrated Kolmogorov–Obukhov (KO) phe-
nomenological theory [1–3] within the framework of a microscopic model and to in-
vestigate possible deviations from this theory. Turbulent flows that occur in various
liquids or gases at very high Reynolds numbers reveal a number of general aspects
(cascades of energy or other conserved quantities, scaling behavior with apparently
universal “anomalous exponents,” intermittency, statistical conservation laws and
so on), which support the hopes that those phenomena can be explained within a
self-contained and internally consistent theory. Recent developments in this area are
presented and summarized in [4].
The most remarkable features of developed turbulence are encoded in the sin-
gle term of intermittency. Roughly speaking, intermittency means that statistical
properties (for example, correlation or structure functions of the turbulent veloci-
ty field) are dominated by rare spatiotemporal configurations, in which the regions
c© M.Hnatich, M.Jurcisin, M.Repasan 123
M.Hnatich, M.Jurcisin, M.Repasan
with strong turbulent activity have exotic (fractal) geometry and are embedded into
the vast regions with regular (laminar) flow. In the turbulence, such phenomenon is
believed to be related to strong fluctuations of the energy flux. Therefore, it leads to
deviations from the predictions of the aforementioned KO theory. Such deviations,
referred to as “anomalous” or “non-dimensional” scaling, manifest themselves in
singular (arguably power-like) dependence of correlation or structure functions on
the distances and the integral (external) turbulence scale L. The corresponding ex-
ponents are certain nontrivial and nonlinear functions of the order of the correlation
function, i.e., the phenomenon referred to as “multiscaling.”
The term “anomalous scaling” reminds of the critical scaling in models of equi-
librium phase transitions. In those, the field theoretic methods were successfully
employed to establish the existence of self-similar (scaling) regimes and to construct
regular perturbative calculational schemes (the famous ε expansion and its rela-
tives) for the corresponding exponents, scaling functions, ratios of amplitudes etc;
see e.g. [5,6]. Here and below, by “field theoretic methods” we mean diagrammatic
and functional techniques, renormalization theory and renormalization group, com-
posite operators, operator-product expansion and so on.
Although the theoretical description of the fluid turbulence based on the “first
principles” i.e. on the stochastic Navier-Stokes (NS) equations [1] remains essentially
an open problem, considerable progress has been achieved in understanding simpli-
fied model systems that share some important properties with the real problem:
shell models [7], stochastic Burgers equation [8] and passive advection by random
“synthetic” velocity fields [9].
Probably the most important progress in the subject, achieved in the last decade
of the twentieth century, was related to a simplified model of the fully developed
turbulence, the so-called rapid-change model. The model, which dates back to clas-
sical studies of Batchelor, Obukhov, Kraichnan and Kazantsev, describes a scalar or
vector quantity (e.g. temperature, concentration of admixture particles or a weak
magnetic field), passively advected by a Gaussian velocity field, decorrelated in time
and self-similar in space (the latter property mimics some features of a real turbu-
lent velocity ensemble). There, for the first time the existence of anomalous scaling
was established based on the microscopic model [10], and the corresponding anoma-
lous exponents were derived within controlled approximations [11,12] and regular
perturbation schemes based on the field theoretic renormalization group (RG) and
operator product expansion (OPE) [13]. Detailed review of the recent theoretical
research on the passive scalar problem and more references can be found in [9].
The feature specific to the theory of turbulence and simplified models associated
with it is the existence in the corresponding field theoretical models of the com-
posite operators with negative scaling (critical) dimensions. Such operators, termed
“dangerous” in [13–17], give rise to anomalous scaling, i.e., the singular dependence
on the infrared (IR) scale L with certain nonlinear anomalous exponents.
Important advantages of the RG approach are its universality and calculational
efficiency: a regular systematic perturbation expansion for the anomalous exponents
was constructed, similar to the well-known ε-expansion in the theory of phase transi-
124
Toy models of developed turbulence
tions, and the exponents were calculated in the first order of expansion for passively
advected vector fields [18,19] and in the second [13] and third [15] orders of that
expansion for scalar fields. Furthermore, the RG approach is not related only to the
rapid-change model and can also be applied to the case of finite correlation time or
non-Gaussian advecting field [17].
The solution proceeds in two main stages. In the first stage, the multiplicative
renormalizability of the corresponding field theoretic model is demonstrated and the
differential RG equations for its correlation functions are obtained. The asymptotic
behavior of the latter on their UV argument (r/l) (l is internal length) for r � `
and any fixed (r/L) (L is an outer length) is given by IR stable fixed points of those
equations. It involves some “scaling functions” of the IR argument (r/L), whose
form is not determined by the RG equations. In the second stage, their behavior
at r � L is found from the OPE within the framework of the general solution
of the RG equations. The crucial role is played there by the critical dimensions of
various composite operators, which give rise to an infinite family of independent
scaling exponents (and hence to multiscaling). Of course, these both stages (and
thus the phenomenon of multiscaling) have long been known in the RG theory of
critical behavior. The distinguishing feature specific to models of turbulence is the
existence of composite operators with aforementioned negative critical dimensions.
Their contributions to the OPE diverge at (r/L) → 0. In the models of critical
phenomena, nontrivial composite operators always have strictly positive dimensions,
so that they only determine corrections (vanishing for (r/L) → 0) to the leading
terms (finite for (r/L) → 0) in the scaling functions.
Regular perturbation schemes and accurate numerical simulations allow one to
discuss, taking the example of the rapid-change model and its relatives, the issues
that are interesting within the general context of fully developed turbulence: univer-
sality and saturation of anomalous exponents, effects of compressibility, anisotropy
and pressure, persistence of the large-scale anisotropy and hierarchy of anisotrop-
ic contributions and so on. Moreover, it is interesting and important to study the
helicity (violation of space parity) effects because many turbulence phenomena are
directly effected by them (like large air vortices in atmosphere). For example, in
the framework of turbulent magnetohydrodynamics it leads to a nontrivial fact of
the very existence of the so-called “turbulent dynamo”, i.e., the generation of a
large-scale magnetic field by the energy of the turbulent motion [20–24]. This is an
important effect in astrophysics.
Helicity, as we shall see below, does not affect the known results in one-loop
approximation. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the second order (two-loop) ap-
proximation. It is also important to say that in the framework of classical Kraichnan
model, i.e., the model of passive advection by Gaussian velocity field with δ-like cor-
relations in time, it is impossible to study the effect of helicity since all potentially
“helical” diagrams are identically equal to zero at all orders in the perturbation the-
ory. In this sense, the investigation of helicity in the present model can be considered
as the first step to analyze helicity in the problems with genuine turbulence.

2. Field theoretic description of the model
The advection of a passive scalar field θ(x) ≡ θ(t,x) in helical turbulent envi-
ronment is described by the stochastic equation
∂tθ + vi∂iθ = ν0∆θ + f, (1)
where ∂t ≡ ∂/∂t, ∂i ≡ ∂/∂xi, ν0 is the molecular diffusivity coefficient (hereafter
all parameters with a subscript 0 denote bare parameters of unrenormalized theory;
see below), 4 ≡ ∂2 is the Laplace operator, vi ≡ vi(x) is the i-th component of the
divergence-free (owing to the incompressibility) velocity field v(x), and f ≡ f(x) is
an artificial Gaussian random noise with zero mean and correlation function
〈f(x)f(x′)〉 = δ(t − t′)C(r/L), r = x − x
′, (2)
where L denotes an integral (outer) scale. It maintains the steady-state of the system
but the detailed form of the function C(r/L) is unessential in our consideration. In
spite of the fact that in real problems the velocity field v(x) satisfies Navier-Stokes
equation, in what follows, we suppose that statistics of velocity field is given in the
form of Gaussian distribution with zero mean and correlator
〈vi(x)vj(x
′)〉 =
∫ dωddk
(2π)d+1
P ρ
ij(k)Dv(ω, k) exp [−i(t − t′) + ik(x − x

with
Dv(ω, k) =

(iω + u0ν0k2−η)(−iω + u0ν0k2−η)

where D0 = g0ν

0 is a positive amplitude factor, g0 plays the role of the coupling
constant of the model, an analog of the coupling constant λ0 in the λ0ϕ
4 model of
critical behavior [5,6]. In addition, g0 is a formal small parameter of the ordinary
perturbation theory. The positive exponents ε and η (ε = O(η)) are small RG
expansion parameters, the analogs of the parameter ε = 4 − d in the λ0ϕ
4 theory.
Thus we have a kind of double expansion model in the ε−η plane around the origin
ε = η = 0. The correlator (4) is directly related to the energy spectrum via the
frequency integral [17]
E(k) ' kd−1
∫
dωDv(ω, k) '
g0ν
2

u0
k1−2ε. (5)
Therefore, the coupling constant g0 and the exponent ε describe the equal-time ve-
locity correlator or, equivalently, energy spectrum. On the other hand, the constant
u0 and the second exponent η are related to the frequency ω ' u0ν0k
2−η which char-
acterizes the mode k [25]. Thus, in our notation, the value ε = 4/3 corresponds to the
well-known Kolmogorov “five-thirds law” for the spatial statistics of velocity field,
and η = 4/3 corresponds to the Kolmogorov frequency. For completeness, we retain
d-dependence in expressions (3) and (4) (d is the dimensionality of the x space), al-
though, of course, when one investigates the system with helicity, the dimension of
126
Toy models of developed turbulence
the x space should be strictly equal to three. To include helicity, transverse projector
P ρ
ij(k) is taken in the form
P ρ
ij(k) = Pij(k) + Hij(k) = δij −
kikj
k2
+ iρεijl
kl

. (6)
Here Pij(k) = δij −kikj/k
2 represents non-helical part of the total transverse projec-
tor P ρ
ij(k). On the other hand, Hij(k) = iρεijl(kl/k) mimics the presence of helicity in
the flow. Thus, formally, the transition to the helical fluid corresponds to the break
of spatial parity, and, technically, this is expressed by the fact that the correlation
function is specified in the form of mixture of a true tensor and a pseudotensor.
The tensor εijl is Levi-Civita’s completely antisymmetric tensor of rank 3 and the
real parameter ρ characterizes the amount of helicity. Due to the requirement of
positive definiteness of the correlation function the absolute value of ρ should be
in the interval |ρ| ∈ 〈0, 1〉 [20]. Non-zero helical part proportional to ρ physically
expresses the existence of non-zero correlations 〈v · rotv〉.
The general model (3), (4) contains two important special cases: rapid-change
model limit when u0 → ∞ and g′
0 ≡ g0/u

0 = const, Dv(ω, k) → g′

and quenched (time-independent or frozen) velocity field limit which is defined by

0k
−d+2−2ε, which is similar to the
well-known models of the random walks in random environment with long range
correlations; see, e.g., [26,27].
The stochastic problem (1)–(4) can be treated as a field theory with an action
functional
S(θ, θ′,v) =
θ′Dθθ

+ θ′ [−∂t + ν04− (vi∂i)] θ −

, (7)
where θ′ is an auxiliary scalar field, and Dθ and Dv are correlators (2) and (3),
respectively. In the action (7), all the required integrations over x = (t,x) and
summations over the vector indices are quite understandable.
3. Renormalization group analysis
The model (7) is logarithmic for ε = η = 0 (the coupling constant g0 is dimensi-
onless) and, in this case, possible ultraviolet (UV) divergences have the form of poles
in various linear combinations of ε and η in the correlation functions. Using the stan-
dard analysis of quantum field theory one finds that all divergences can be removed
by the only counterterm of the form θ′4θ [17]. Thus, the model is multiplicatively
renormalizable, which is expressed explicitly in the multiplicative renormalization
of the parameters g0, u0, and ν0 in the form
ν0 = νZν , g0 = gµ2ε+ηZg , u0 = uµηZu . (8)
Here the dimensionless parameters g, u,and ν are the renormalized counterparts of
the corresponding bare ones, µ is the renormalization mass and Zi = Zi(g, u; d, ρ; ε)
127
M.Hnatich, M.Jurcisin, M.Repasan
are renormalization constants which in minimal substraction (MS) scheme have the
form ”1 + only poles in ε” up to two-loop approximation.
The renormalized action functional has the following form
SR(θ, θ′,v) =
θ′Dθθ
′
2
+ θ′[−∂t + νZ14− (v∂)]θ −
vD−1
v v
2
, (9)
where the correlator Dv is written in renormalized parameters (in wave-number-
frequency representation). By comparison of the renormalized action (9) with defi-
nitions of the renormalization constants Zi, i = g, u, ν (8) one comes to the relations
among them:
Zν = Z1, Zg = Z−3
ν , Zu = Z−1
ν . (10)
The second and third relations are caused by the absence of the renormalization of
the term with Dv in renormalized action (9).
The issue of interest is, in particular, the behavior of the equal-time structure
functions
Sn(r) ≡ 〈[θ(t,x) − θ(t,x′)]n〉 (11)
in the inertial range, specified by the inequalities l � r � L (l is internal length).
Here parentheses 〈〉 mean functional average over fields θ, θ′,v with weight exp(SR).
In the isotropic case, the odd functions S2n+1 vanish, while for S2n, simple dimensi-
onality considerations give
S2n(r) = ν−n
0 r2n R2n
(
r
l
,
r
L
, g0, u0, ρ
)
, (12)
where R2n are some functions of dimensionless variables. In principle, they can be
calculated within the ordinary perturbation theory (i.e., as series in g0), but this is
not beneficial in studying the inertial-range behavior: the coefficients are singular
in the limits r/l → ∞ and/or r/L → 0, which compensate the smallness of g0,
and in order to find the correct IR behavior we have to sum the entire series. The
desired summation can be accomplished using the field theoretic renormalization
group (RG) and operator product expansion (OPE); see [13,15,17].
The RG analysis consists of two main stages. At the first stage, the multiplicative
renormalizability of the model is demonstrated and the differential RG equations for
its correlation (structure) functions are obtained. The asymptotic behavior of the
functions like (11) for r/l � 1 and any fixed r/L is given by IR stable fixed points
(see below) of the RG equations and has the form
S2n(r) = ν−n
0 r2n
(

)
−γn
R2n
(

, ρ
)
, r/l � 1 (13)
with certain, as yet unknown, “scaling functions” R2n(r/L, ρ). In the theory of criti-
cal phenomena [5,6] the quantity ∆[S2n] ≡ −2n+γn is termed the “critical dimensi-
on”, while the exponent γn, the difference between the critical dimension ∆[S2n] and
the “canonical dimension” −2n, is called the “anomalous dimension.” In the case
at hand, the latter has an extremely simple form: γn = nε. Whatever be the func-
tions R2n(r/L, ρ), the representation (13) implies the existence of a scaling (scale
128
Toy models of developed turbulence
invariance) in the IR region (r/l � 1, r/L fixed) with definite critical dimensions
of all “IR relevant” parameters, ∆[S2n] = −2n + nε, ∆r = −1, ∆L−1 = 1 and fixed
“irrelevant” parameters ν0 and l.
At the second stage, the small r/L behavior of the functions R2n(r/L, ρ) is
studied within the general representation (13) using the OPE. It shows that, in the
limit r/L → 0, the functions R2n(r/L, ρ) have the asymptotic forms
R2n(r/L) =
∑
F
CF
(
r
L
) (
r
L
)∆n
, (14)
where CF are coefficients regular in r/L. In general, the summation is implied over
certain renormalized composite operators F with critical dimensions ∆n. In the case
under consideration the leading operators F have the form Fn = (∇iθ∇iθ)
n.
We have performed the complete two-loop calculation of the critical dimensions
of the composite operators Fn for arbitrary values of n, d, u and ρ:
∆[F ] = ∆(1)
n ε + ∆(2)
n ε2 , (15)
where
∆(1)
n =
−n(n − 2)(d − 1)
2(d − 1)(d + 2)
(16)
is the expression obtained in one-loop approximation.
Two-loop contribution ∆(2)
n is rather cumbersome and can be found in [28]. The
main and very interesting result consists in the fact that although the separated two-
loop Feynman graphs of operators Fn strongly depend on helicity parameter ρ, such
a dependence disappears in their sum, which gives rise to critical dimensions ∆n.
We can conclude that in two-loop approximation anomalous scaling with negative
exponents (15) is not affected by the existence of non-zero helical correlations
〈v · rotv〉 in the turbulent incompressible flow. It turns out, however, that the
region of stability of possible asymptotic regimes governed by fixed points of RG
equations, where anomalous scaling takes place, as well as the effective diffusivity
strongly depend on ρ. Herein below we briefly analyze the action of helicity on the
effective diffusivity, which determines the exponential damping during fluctuations θ.
4. Effective diffusivity in infrared asymptotic region
From equations for renormalization constants Z (10) one immediately obtains
an explicit form of β-functions and anomalous dimension γν :
βg ≡ D̃µg = g(−2ε − η + 3γν) , βu ≡ D̃µu = u(−η + γν) , γν ≡ D̃µ lnZν , (17)
where D̃µ ≡ µ∂/∂µ is logarithmic derivation at fixed bare parameters g0, u0, ρ, ν0.
From this expression and concrete calculation of Zν in two-loop approximation
we can find and clasify all fixed points g∗, u∗ which satisfy the equations:
βg(g∗, u∗) = βu(g∗, u∗) = 0. (18)
129
M.Hnatich, M.Jurcisin, M.Repasan
To investigate the infrared (IR) stability of a fixed point it is sufficient to analyze
the eigenvalues of the 2× 2 matrix Ω of first derivatives: Ωij = ∂βgi
/∂gj (gi ≡ g, u).
The anomalous scaling is governed by the IR stable fixed points, i.e., those for which
both eigenvalues are positive.
Classification and detailed analysis of all fixed points, determination of the region
of their stability and the effect of helicity will be presented elsewhere. Here we confine
ourselves to the most interesting IR stable fixed point, where both parameters g∗, u∗
acquire non-trivial values at η = ε:

sents a line of fixed points in g − u plane. The competition between helical and
non-helical terms appears which yields a nontrivial restriction for the fixed point
values of variable u to have positive fixed values for variable g.
Finally, let us analyze the time-behaviour of the retarded response function G ≡
〈θθ′〉 in the limit t → ∞, which characterizes the response of the physical system to
external regular forcing.
In frequency-wave vector representation G(ω,k) satisfies Dyson equation
G(ω,k) = (−iω + ν0k
2 − Σθ′θ(ω,k))−1, (20)
where the self-energy operator Σθ′θ is expressed via multi-loop Feynman graphs and
can be calculated perturbatively. We have found its divergent part up to two-loop
approximation and calculated it exactly with a one-loop precision for some specific
frequency (see below). Using (20) we find a response function in time-wave vector
representation:
G(t,k) =
∫ dω
2π
e−iωtG(ω,k) =
∫ dω
2π
e−iωt
−iω + ν0k2 − Σθ′θ(ω,k)
. (21)
In the lowest approximation, Σθ′θ(ω,k) = 0 and the integral can be easily cal-
culated: G0(t,k) = θ(t) exp−iωrt . Here θ(t) denotes a usual step function and ωr is
residuum in point iω = iωr = ν0k
2. According to [29] we suppose that this situation
remains the same for the full response function G and the leading contribution to
its asymptotic behaviour as t → ∞ is determined by the residuum ω = ωr, which
corresponds to the smallest root of dispersion relation
G−1(ω,k) = −iω + ν0k
2 − Σθ′θ(ω,k) = 0. (22)

Toy models of developed turbulence
Hence, the decay law G0(t,k) ∼ exp−ν0k2t is changed to
G(t,k) ∼ exp−iωrt = exp−νturb(k)k2t , t → ∞ , (23)
where turbulent diffusivity νturb(k) ≡ iωr/k
2 has been introduced. We have found
this turbulent diffusivity in the scaling regime governed by the fixed point g∗ (19):
νturb(k) = χD

0 g−1/3

where χ = 1 + (χ1 ± χ2i)ε) are two complex roots of dispersion relation (22). In
one-loop approximation we obtain
νturb(k) =

5. Conclusions
We have studied the advection of scalar field by turbulent flow within the frame-
work of extended Kraichnan model and investigated the effect of helicity on anoma-
lous scaling, stability of asymptotic regimes and the effective diffusivity. Such in-
vestigation is useful in understanding the efficiency of toy models (like Kraichnan
model) in order to study the real turbulent motions by means of modern theo-
retical methods including renormalization group approach. Actually, we performed
two-loop calculations of divergent parts of Feynman graphs, which are required to
achieve multiplicative renormalization of equivalent field theoretic model. In this
way we have shown that anomalous scaling, which is typical of the Kraichnan model
and its numerous extensions [28,30], is not violated by inclusion of helicity to the in-
compressible fluid. We expect that helicity gives rise to anomalous scaling exponents
in case of compressible turbulent flows. On the other hand, stability of asymptotic
regimes, values of fixed RG points and turbulent diffusivity strongly depend on the
amount of helicity. It can be easily seen from (25) that helicity enlarges the turbu-
lent diffusivity while high order contributions lead to the appearance of oscillations
in the response function (21). We emphasize that all aforementioned effects can be
observed only starting from the two-loop approximation.

В рамках узагальненої моделі Крайчана нами досліджено адвек-
цію пасивної скалярної величини нестисливого спірального тур-
булентного потоку. Вважалося, що турбулентні флюктуації поля
швидкості описуються гаусовою статистикою з нульовим середнім
значенням та шумом із скінченими часовими кореляціями. Розра-
хунки виконано в наближенні двох петель у формалізмі теоретико-
польової ренормалізаційної групи. Встановлено, що порушення
просторового паритету (спіральність) турбулентного оточення не
впливає на аномальний скейлінг, який є специфічною рисою
даної моделі без спіральності. Однак стабільність асимптотичних
режимів, де має місце аномальний скейлінг, сильно залежить
від величини спіральності. Окрім того, спіральність приводить до
росту турбулентної дифузії, яка була розрахована в однопетлевому
наближенні.
Ключові слова: спіральність, дифузія, аномальний скейлінг,
ренормалізаційна група
