A stochastic approach to enhanced diffusion

Analysis of PDEs 2019-11-25 v1 Probability Fluid Dynamics

Abstract

We provide examples of initial data which saturate the enhanced diffusion rates proved for general shear flows which are H\"{o}lder regular or Lipschitz continuous with critical points, and for regular circular flows, establishing the sharpness of those results. Our proof makes use of a probabilistic interpretation of the dissipation of solutions to the advection diffusion equation.
