contents We study the long-time behavior of a passive scalar transported by an incompressible flow in the presence of smooth, deterministic forcing. For a specific spatially Lipschitz and time-periodic velocity field, we prove that all sufficiently smooth initial data is attracted to a limiting solution that satisfies a cumulative form of Batchelor's law. To our knowledge, this provides the first example for which a version of Batchelor's law can be established with deterministic forcing.
