The Obukhov--Corrsin spectrum of passive scalar turbulence through anomalous regularization
Keefer Rowan
The Obukhov--Corrsin spectrum predicts the distribution of Fourier mass for a passive scalar field advected by a "turbulent" velocity field with spatial regularity for $α…
Superexponential dissipation enhancement on
Keefer Rowan
We construct incompressible velocity fields that exhibit faster than exponential dissipation for particular solutions to the advection-diffusion equation on . In 2D,…
Turbulent and intermittent phenomena in a universal total anomalous dissipator
Elias Hess-Childs, Keefer Rowan
For all , we construct an explicit divergence-free vector field that exhibits universal anomalous (total) dissipation, accel…
A subsequentially fast dynamo on
Keefer Rowan
We construct a smooth velocity field on that exhibits kinematic dynamo action, causing exponential growth in solutions to the magnetohydrodyn…
Divergence-free drifts decrease concentration
Elias Hess-Childs, Renaud Raquépas, Keefer Rowan
We show that bounded divergence-free vector fields decrease the ''concentration'', quantified by the modulus of absolute contin…
Fourier mass lower bounds for Batchelor-regime passive scalars
William Cooperman, Keefer Rowan
Batchelor predicted that a passive scalar with diffusivity , advected by a smooth fluid velocity, should typically have Fourier mass distributed as $|\hat Ï^ν|^2(k) \…
