Abstract: We study the mixing and dissipation properties of the advection-diffusion equation with diffusivity 0<kappall1 and advection by a class of random velocity fields on mathbbTd, d=2,3, including solutions of the 2D Navier-Stokes equations forced by sufficiently regular-in-space, non-degenerate white-in-time noise. We prove that the solution almost surely mixes exponentially fast uniformly in the diffusivity kappa. Namely, that there is a deterministic, exponential rate (independent of kappa) such that all mean-zero H1 initial data decays exponentially fast in H−1 at this rate with probability one. This implies almost-sure enhanced dissipation in L2. Specifically that there is a deterministic, uniform-in-kappa, exponential decay in L2 after time tgtrsim|logkappa|. Both the O(|logkappa|) time-scale and the uniform-in-kappa exponential mixing are optimal for Lipschitz velocity fields and, to our knowledge, are the first rigorous examples of velocity fields satisfying these properties (deterministic or stochastic). This work is also a major step in our program on scalar mixing and Lagrangian chaos necessary for a rigorous proof of the Batchelor power spectrum of passive scalar turbulence.
