A new method for the calculation of kinetic coefficients is presented. This method allows us to obtain the distribution of scalar and vector fields (such as the temperature, the admixture particle number density and the magnetic field) in turbulent cosmic media with any value of S = u0т0/R0. The explicit expression for the “turbulent” diffusivity DT is obtained. In some cases DT becomes negative, implying the clustering of the admixture particles in patches (a local increase of the temperature and magnetic fields). The magnetic α-effect is considered for the case S ~ 1.
