Abstract:
We study diffusion and mixing in different fluid dynamics models, and give a general criterion that links mixing rates to enhanced dissipation time-scales. Applications include passive scalar evolution in both planar and radial settings, linearized two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations, and even simple examples in kinetic theory.
