Dynamic renormalization-group methods are used to study the large-distance, long-time behavior of velocity correlations generated by the Navier-Stokes equations for a randomly stirred, incompressible fluid. Different models are defined, corresponding to a variety of Gaussian random forces. One of the models describes a fluid near thermal equilibrium, and gives rise to the usual long-time tail phenomena. Apart from simplifying the derivation of the latter, our methods clearly establish their…

Stochastic dynamics of a nonconserved scalar order parameter near its critical point, subject to random stirring and mixing, is studied using the field-theoretic renormalization group. The stirring

The zero-friction fluctuation-dissipation theorem (FDT) is derived from a generalized time-reversal symmetry and implies zero anomalous dimension for the velocity even when friction is present, so the Kolmogorov scaling of the inverse cascade cannot be explained by any RG fixed point.
