In 1959, Batchelor predicted that the stationary statistics of passive scalars advected in fluids with small diffusivity $\kappa$ should display a $|k|^{-1}$ power spectrum along an inertial range contained in the viscous-convective range…
We consider statistics of the passive scalar on distances much larger than the pumping scale. Such statistics is determined by statistics of Lagrangian contraction that is by probabilities of initially distant fluid particles to come close.…
This work investigates the long-time asymptotic behavior of a diffusing passive scalar advected by fluid flow in a straight channel with a periodically varying cross-section. The goal is to derive an asymptotic expansion for the scalar…
An elegant model for passive scalar mixing was given by Kraichnan assuming the velocity to be delta-correlated in time. We generalize this model to include the effects of a finite correlation time, $\tau$, using renewing flows. The…
We apply spectral theoretic methods to obtain a Littlewood-Paley decomposition of abstract inhomogeneous Besov spaces in terms of "smooth" and "bandlimited" functions. Well-known decompositions in several contexts are as special examples…
We consider the passive scalar equations subject to shear flow advection and fractional dissipation. The enhanced dissipation estimates are derived. For classical passive scalar equation ($\gamma=1$), our result agrees with the sharp one…
Direct numerical simulation data show that the variance of the coupling term in passive scalar advection by a random velocity field is smaller than it would be if the velocity and scalar fields were statistically independent. This effect is…
This paper concerns with the large time behavior of solutions to a diffusion approximation radiation hydrodynamics model when the initial data is a small perturbation around an equilibrium state. The global-in-time well-posedness of…
In this paper we study a Cauchy problem for the nonlinear damped wave equations for a general positive operator with discrete spectrum. We derive the exponential in time decay of solutions to the linear problem with decay rate depending on…
A phenomenological model for the dissipation of scalar fluctuations due to the straining by the fluid motion is proposed in this letter. An explicit equation is obtained for the time evolution of the probability distribution function of a…
Steady statistics of a passive scalar advected by a random two-dimensional flow of an incompressible fluid is described in the range of scales between the correlation length of the flow and the diffusion scale. That corresponds to the…
We deal with the problem of separation of time-scales and filamentation in a linear drift-diffusion problem posed on the whole space $\mathbb{R}^2$. The passive scalar considered is stirred by an incompressible flow with radial symmetry. We…
We consider advection of a passive scalar theta(t,r) by an incompressible large-scale turbulent flow. In the framework of the Kraichnan model the whole PDF's (probability distribution functions) for the single-point statistics of theta and…
We compute analytically the probability distribution function ${\cal P}(\epsilon)$ of the dissipation field $\epsilon =(\nabla \theta)^{2}$ of a passive scalar $\theta$ advected by a $d$-dimensional random flow, in the limit of large Peclet…
We study the effect of advection and small diffusion on passive tracers. The advecting velocity field is assumed to have mean zero and to possess time-periodic stream lines. Using a canonical transform to action-angle variables followed by…
For certain non compact Riemannian manifolds with ends, we obtain Littlewood-Paley type estimates on (weighted) Lp spaces, using the usual square function defined by a dyadic partition.
We study the long-time behavior of a passive scalar transported by an incompressible flow in the presence of smooth, deterministic forcing. For a specific spatially Lipschitz and time-periodic velocity field, we prove that all sufficiently…
We generalize classical dispersion theory for a passive scalar to derive an asymptotic long-time convection-diffusion equation for a solute suspended in a wide, structured channel and subject to a steady low-Reynolds-number shear flow. Our…
We obtain the precise decay rates of traveling wave for a class of nonlocal evolution equations arising in the theory of phase transitions. We also investigate the spectrum of the operator obtained by linearizing at such a traveling wave.…
We obtain a decay estimate for solutions to the linear dispersive equation $iu_t-(-\Delta)^{1/4}u=0$ for $(t,x)\in\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R}$. This corresponds to a factorization of the linearized water wave equation…
