Abstract. A novel mapping closure approximation (MCA) technique is developed to construct a model for the conditional dissipation rate (CDR) of a scalar in homogeneous turbulence. It is shown that the CDR model from amplitude mapping closure is incorrect in asymptotic behaviour for unsymmetric binary mixing. The correct asymptotic behaviour can be described by the CDR model formulated by the MCA technique. The MCA approach is outlined for constructing a successive approximation to the probability density function and conditional moment.

...om Gaussian field that is homogeneous in space and φ1(t) a random Gaussian field that is inhomogeneous only in time. Amplitude mapping closure requires φ1(t) = 0, which fails in the asymptotic behaviour of conditional dissipation rate due to lack of an independent time-evolving reference field. Following the standard method [12, 17], we can formulate the mapping equation ∂Y ∂t + ∂Y ∂φ1 〈 dφ1 dt ∣∣∣∣Z 〉 = −〈u∇Y |Z〉 + κ〈∇2Y |Z〉. (14) The conditional moment 〈u∇Y |Z〉 vanishes due to the assumption of homogeneity. Its analytical model for inhomogeneous ‘white noise’ velocity fields can be found in [18]. Other conditional averages in (14) can be evaluated by homogeneity of the velocity and scalar fields and Gaussianity of the reference fields, 〈 dφ1 dt ∣∣∣∣Z 〉 = φ1 2〈φ21〉 d〈φ21〉 dt , 〈∇2Y |Z〉 = −φ0 〈φ 2 0x〉 〈φ20〉 ∂Y ∂φ0 + 〈φ20x〉 ∂2Y ∂φ20 . (15) An exact solution can be obtained from (14) with the evaluated conditional averages (15) and the initial condition (5) which requires φ1(0) = 0, Y = 1 2 [ 1 + erf ( φ0 − γeτ√ 2 Σ ) + ( 1 − exp [ φ1 − 〈φ1〉 + ∫ t 0 〈 dφ1 dt ∣∣∣∣Z 〉 dt ]) (2〈Z〉 − 1) ] . (16) We will calculate the CDR χ(Z, t) = κ〈(∇Y )2|Z〉, where ensemble average is taken over the level s...
