On the relation between enhanced dissipation timescales and mixing rates

MC Zelati, MG Delgadino… - Communications on Pure …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
We study diffusion and mixing in different linear fluid dynamics models, mainly related to
incompressible flows. In this setting, mixing is a purely advective effect that causes a transfer …

Suppression of chemotactic explosion by mixing

A Kiselev, X Xu - Archive for Rational Mechanics and Analysis, 2016 - Springer
Chemotaxis plays a crucial role in a variety of processes in biology and ecology. In many
instances, processes involving chemical attraction take place in fluids. One of the most …

Almost-sure enhanced dissipation and uniform-in-diffusivity exponential mixing for advection–diffusion by stochastic Navier–Stokes

We study the mixing and dissipation properties of the advection–diffusion equation with
diffusivity 0< κ ≪ 1 0< κ≪ 1 and advection by a class of random velocity fields on T^ d T d …

Exponential self-similar mixing by incompressible flows

G Alberti, G Crippa, A Mazzucato - Journal of the American Mathematical …, 2019 - ams.org
We study the problem of the optimal mixing of a passive scalar under the action of an
incompressible flow in two space dimensions. The scalar solves the continuity equation with …

Universal mixers in all dimensions

TM Elgindi, A Zlatoš - Advances in Mathematics, 2019 - Elsevier
We construct universal mixers, incompressible flows that mix arbitrarily well general
solutions to the corresponding transport equation, in all dimensions. This mixing is …

Optimal mixing in two-dimensional plane Poiseuille flow at finite Péclet number

DPG Foures, CP Caulfield, PJ Schmid - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2014 - cambridge.org
We consider the nonlinear optimisation of the mixing of a passive scalar, initially arranged in
two layers, in a two-dimensional plane Poiseuille flow at finite Reynolds and Péclet …

Almost-sure exponential mixing of passive scalars by the stochastic Navier–Stokes equations
