Abstract

The power specturm of a passive scalar contaminant undergoing a first-order chemical reaction and isotropic turbulent mixing is deduced for three different spectral ranges: (i) the inertial-convective range; (ii) the viscous-convective and viscous-diffusive ranges for very large Schmidt number; (iii) the inertial-diffusive range for very small Schmidt number. The analysis is restricted to stationary, locally isotropic fields, and to systems so dilute that the heat of reaction has no effect on the reaction rate.
