Cascades and transitions in turbulent flows

A Alexakis, L Biferale - Physics Reports, 2018 - Elsevier
Turbulent flows are characterized by the non-linear cascades of energy and other inviscid
invariants across a huge range of scales, from where they are injected to where they are …

Turbulent mixing: A perspective

KR Sreenivasan - Proceedings of the National Academy of …, 2019 - National Acad Sciences
Mixing of initially distinct substances plays an important role in our daily lives as well as in

A new mixing diagnostic and Gulf oil spill movement

I Mezić, S Loire, VA Fonoberov, P Hogan - Science, 2010 - science.org
Chaotic advection has served as the paradigm for mixing in fluid flows with simple time
dependence. Its skeletal structure is based on analysis of invariant attracting and repelling …

Using multiscale norms to quantify mixing and transport

JL Thiffeault - Nonlinearity, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
Mixing is relevant to many areas of science and engineering, including the pharmaceutical
and food industries, oceanography, atmospheric sciences and civil engineering. In all these …

Optimal stirring strategies for passive scalar mixing

Z Lin, JL Thiffeault, CR Doering - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2011 - cambridge.org
We address the challenge of optimal incompressible stirring to mix an initially
inhomogeneous distribution of passive tracers. As a quantitative measure of mixing we …

Universal mixers in all dimensions

TM Elgindi, A Zlatoš - Advances in Mathematics, 2019 - Elsevier
We construct universal mixers, incompressible flows that mix arbitrarily well general
solutions to the corresponding transport equation, in all dimensions. This mixing is …

Dissipation enhancement by mixing

Y Feng, G Iyer - Nonlinearity, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
We quantitatively study the interaction between diffusion and mixing in both the continuous,
and discrete time setting. In discrete time, we consider a mixing dynamical system …

Lower bounds on the mix norm of passive scalars advected by incompressible enstrophy-constrained flows

G Iyer, A Kiselev, X Xu - Nonlinearity, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
Consider a diffusion-free passive scalar θ being mixed by an incompressible flow u on the
torus ${\mathbb T}^ d $. Our aim is to study how well this scalar can be mixed under an …
