Abstract
Lagrangian pair dispersion provides insights into mixing in turbulent flows. By direct numerical simulations (DNSs) we show that the statistics of pair dispersion in the randomly forced two-dimensional Burgers equation, which is a typical model of shock-dominated turbulence, is very different from its incompressible counterpart because Lagrangian particles get trapped in shocks. We develop a heuristic theoretical framework that accounts for this—a generalization of the multifractal model—whose prediction of the scaling of Lagrangian exit times agrees well with our DNS.
