We study the capability of the One-Dimensional-Turbulence (ODT) model to simulate the turbulent transport and mixing of multiple passive scalars in homogeneous isotropic stationary turbulence. To this end, forcing schemes that have been widely used for stationary three-dimensional direct numerical simulations are adapted to the ODT framework and the effects of the model and input parameters on the steady state properties are discussed. We observe the model's ability to convincingly represent the physical features of single-scalar mixing and variance decay, but also its limited qualitative accuracy in the multiple scalar case, especially concerning the scalar joint probability density function, which is of importance for reactive flow computations.
