mu] and the transported passive scalar [E θ (k)∝ k− m θ] fields exhibit departures from the
asymptotic prediction mu= m θ= 5/3. However, at the same Reynolds number, the passive
scalar spectrum for homogeneous isotropic turbulence is closer to the universal asymptotic
state than the dynamic velocity field that transports it. This paper provides a possible
explanation for this behavior, in the case of a gaseous mixing with Prandtl (or Schmidt) …
