Exponential Lower Bounds for the Advection-Diffusion Equation with Shear Flows
Abstract
In this paper, we prove that the L2 norm of spatial mean-free solutions to the advection--diffusion equation on T2 with shear drifts satisfies an exponential lower bound in time. This lower bound shows that diffusion can fundamentally suppress passive-scalar mixing.
