What controls the decay of passive scalars in smooth flows?

PH Haynes, J Vanneste - Physics of Fluids, 2005 - pubs.aip.org
The exponential decay of the variance of a passive scalar released in a homogeneous
random two-dimensional flow is examined. Two classes of flows are considered: short …

Low Reynolds number scalar transport enhancement in viscous and non-Newtonian fluids

DR Lester, M Rudman, G Metcalfe - International Journal of Heat and Mass …, 2009 - Elsevier
Enhancement of heat and/or mass transfer via turbulence is often not feasible for highly
viscous, non-Newtonian or shear sensitive fluids. One alternative to improve transport within …

Scalar decay in chaotic mixing

JL Thiffeault - Transport and Mixing in Geophysical Flows: Creators of …, 2008 - Springer
I review the local theory of mixing, which focuses on infinitesimal blobs of scalar being
advected and stretched by a random velocity field. An advantage of this theory is that it …

Stirring up trouble: multi-scale mixing measures for steady scalar sources

TA Shaw, JL Thiffeault, CR Doering - Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena, 2007 - Elsevier
The mixing efficiency of a flow advecting a passive scalar sustained by steady sources and
sinks is naturally defined in terms of the suppression of bulk scalar variance in the presence …

Dispersion in the large-deviation regime. Part 1: shear flows and periodic flows

PH Haynes, J Vanneste - Journal of fluid mechanics, 2014 - cambridge.org
The dispersion of a passive scalar in a fluid through the combined action of advection and
molecular diffusion is often described as a diffusive process, with an effective diffusivity that …
