Optimal mixing and irregular transport by incompressible flows
Abstract:- I will discuss transport of passive scalars by incompressible flows (such as a die in a fluid) and measures of optimal mixing and stirring under physical constraint on the flow. In particular, I will present recent results concerning examples of flows that achieve the optimal theoretical rate in the case of flows with a prescribed bound on certain Sobolev norms of the associated velocity, such as under an energy or an enstrophy budget. These examples are related to examples of (instantaneous) loss of Sobolev regularity for solutions to linear transport equations with non-Lipschitz velocity. [video]
