Intermittency, Diffusion, and Generation in a Nonstationary Random Medium, 2nd Edition

This classic survey considers passive scalar and vector transport processes in a random nonstationary medium which are described by linear parabolic equations. Integration over random paths is used along with the asymptotic behavior of the product of a large number of independent identically distributed random matrices. The most interesting effect is the appearance of concentrated structures (intermittency) of a smooth initial distribution of the transported quantity.Ya.B. Zel'dovich A.A. Ruzmaikin S.A. Molchanov
