Microscopic expression of anomalous dissipation in Passive scalar transport

Abstract

We study anomalous dissipation from a microscopic viewpoint. In the work by Drivas, Elgindi, Iyer and Jeong (2022), the property of anomalous dissipation provides the existence of non-unique weak solutions for a transport equation with a singular velocity field. In this paper, we reconsider this solution in terms of kinetic theory and clarify its microscopic property. Consequently, energy loss can be expressed by non-vanishing microscopic advection.
