Enhanced Dissipation and Transition Threshold for the Poiseuille Flow in a Periodic Strip

Authors:

Abstract: We consider the solution to the 2D Navier-Stokes equations around the Poiseuille flow

(y^{2}, 0)

on

m a t h b b T i m e s m a t h b b R

with small viscosity

u > 0

. Via a hypocoercivity argument, we prove that the

x -

dependent modes of the solution to the linear problem undergo the enhanced dissipation effect with a rate proportional to

u^{f r a c 12}

. Moreover, we study the nonlinear enhanced dissipation effect and we establish a transition threshold of

u^{f r a c 23 +}

. Namely, when the perturbation of the Poiseuille flow is size at most

u^{f r a c 23 +}

, its size remains so for all times and the enhanced dissipation persists with a rate proportional to

u^{f r a c 12}

.
