Abstract
We consider the 2D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations on , with initial vorticity that is close in to (the vorticity of the Couette flow ). We prove that if , where denotes the viscosity, then the solution of the Navier-Stokes equation approaches some shear flow which is also close to Couette flow for time by a mixing-enhanced dissipation effect and then converges back to Couette flow when . In particular, we show the nonlinear enhanced dissipation and the inviscid damping results in the almost critical space .
