Heat-content and diffusive leakage from material sets in the low-diffusivity limit

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We generalize leading-order asymptotics of a form of the heat content of a submanifold (van den Berg & Gilkey 2015) to the setting of time-dependent diffusion processes in the limit of vanishing diffusivity. Such diffusion processes arise naturally when advection-diffusion processes are viewed in Lagrangian coordinates. We prove that as diffusivity varepsilon goes to zero, the diffusive transport out of a material set S under the time-dependent, mass-preserving advection-diffusion equation with initial condition given by the characteristic function mathds1S, is sqrtvarepsilon/pidoverlineA(partialS)+o(sqrtvarepsilon). The surface measure doverlineA is that of the so-called geometry of mixing, as introduced in (Karrasch & Keller, 2020). We apply our result to the characterisation of coherent structures in time-dependent dynamical systems.
