Abstract: A statistical model is given of the formation of ordered structures (clusters) in a homogeneous isotropic turbulent field. The suggested model is based on the kinetic equation for the probability density function of relative velocity of a pair of particles. The solution of the problem is treated for a steady-state rarefied system of dispersed particles in view of pair interaction
