• Batchelor (1959) argued that for Sc»1

• the rate of strain 1/ 2/

should be approximately uniform over regions of space which are small compared to

• the highest scalar wavenumber vectors would align with the compression axes of the local rate of strain tensor and be convected rapidly to higher until the wavelength decreases to aboutk
