Different from the original problem, the prescribed random velocity field is non-Gaussian and σ correlated in time, and its introduction is inspired by She and Levveque （Phys. Rev. Lett. 72, 336 （1994））. For comparison, we also give the passive scalar advected by the Gaussian random velocity field. The anomalous scaling exponents H（p） of passive scalar advected by these two kinds of random velocities above are determined for structure function with values of p up to 15 by Monte Carlo simulations of the random shell model, with Gear methods used to solve the stochastic differential equations. We find that the H（p） advected by the non-Gaussian random velocity is not more anomalous than that advected by the Gaussian random velocity. Whether the advecting velocity is non-Gaussian or Gaussian, similar scaling exponents of passive scalar are obtained with the same molecular diffusivity.展开更多
