Abstract

Field-theoretic renormalization group is applied to the Kraichnan model of a passive scalar advected by the Gaussian velocity field with the covariance -~delta(t-t('))|x-x(')|(epsilon). Inertial-range anomalous exponents, related to the scaling dimensions of tensor composite operators built of the scalar gradients, are calculated to the order epsilon(3) of the epsilon expansion. The nature and the convergence of the epsilon expansion in the models of turbulence are briefly discussed.
