Abstract

We consider a model of a passive vector field transfer by a random two-dimensional transverse velocity field that is uncorrelated in time and has Gaussian spatial statistics given by a powerlike correlator. We use the renormalization group and the operator product expansion techniques to show that the asymptotic approximation of the structure functions of a vector field in the inertial range is determined by the energy dissipation fluctuations. The dependence of the asymptotic approximation on the external scale of turbulence is essential and has a powerlike form (the case of an anomalous scaling). The corresponding exponents are calculated in the one-loop approximation for structure functions of an arbitrary order.
