Abstract

We consider the advection-diffusion equation on T2\mathbb{T}^2 with a Lipschitz and time-periodic velocity field that alternates between two piecewise linear shear flows. We prove enhanced dissipation on the timescale logν|\log \nu|, where ν\nu is the diffusivity parameter. This is the optimal decay rate as ν0\nu \to 0 for uniformly-in-time Lipschitz velocity fields. We also establish exponential mixing for the ν=0\nu = 0 problem.
