Abstract

We prove the absence of anomalous dissipation for passive scalars driven by some random autonomous divergence-free vector fields in Td\mathbb T^d. In dimension d=2d=2 we just need continuity almost surely and a mild nondegeneracy condition on the randomness. In dimension d3d\geq 3 we assume a special geometric structure and almost sure H\"older regularity with a H\"older exponent bigger than 18\frac{1}{8}. No regularity is assumed on the passive scalar except for boundedness in the initial data. The proof relies on dimension-theoretic arguments, as opposed to commutator estimates. A consequence of these results is that the same assumptions prevent (almost surely) many other expected properties of turbulent flows, such as anomalous regularization, the Yaglom-Obukhov-Corrsin law, and Richardson diffusion.
