Abstract: We consider a semi-linear advection equation driven by a highly-oscillatory space-time Gaussian random field, with the randomness affecting both the drift and the nonlinearity. In the linear setting, classical results show that the characteristics converge in distribution to a homogenized Brownian motion, hence the point-wise law of the solution is close to a functional of the Brownian motion. Our main result is that the nonlinearity plays the role of a random diffeomorphism, and the point-wise limiting distribution is obtained by applying the diffeomorphism to the limit in the linear setting.
