Abstract
Forced advection of passive tracer in nonlinear medium by a smooth flow is considered. Effective theory for small scale scalar fluctuations is shown t o be linear (asymptotic free) and universal. Structure functions demonstrat e an extremely anomalous, intermittent behavior while the dissipative anoma ly is absent in the problem. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics.
