We consider the top Lyapunov exponent associated to the advection-diffusion and linearised Navier-Stokes equations on the two-dimensional torus. The velocity field is given by the stochastic Navier-Stokes equations driven by a non-degenerate white-in-time noise with a power-law correlation structure. We show that the top Lyapunov exponent is bounded from below by a negative power of the diffusion parameter. This partially answers a conjecture of Doering and Miles and provides a first lower bound on the Batchelor scale in terms of the diffusivity. The proof relies on a robust analysis of the projective process associated to the linear equation, through its spectral median dynamics. We introduce a probabilistic argument to show that high-frequency states for the projective process are unstable under stochastic perturbations, leading to a Lyapunov drift condition and quantitative-in-diffusivity estimates.

  1. Superexponential dissipation enhancement on $\mathbb{T}^d$

    math.AP 2025-09 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    For advection-diffusion on T^d there exist incompressible velocity fields and initial data whose L2 mass decays double exponentially in 2D, like e^{-Ct^2} in 3D, and superexponentially in 4D.

  2. A subsequentially fast dynamo on $\mathbb{T}^3$

    math.AP 2025-05 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    A smooth flow on T^3 is built so that the induction equation grows magnetic energy exponentially at rate at least 1/4, for any prescribed countable set of diffusivities accumulating at zero.

  3. Mixing at the Batchelor Scale for White-In-Time Flows

    math.PR 2025-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    For the four-mode white-in-time advection-diffusion model on T², the exponential dissipation rate stays bounded below as κ→0, confirming Batchelor scaling.

  4. Turbulent and intermittent phenomena in a universal total anomalous dissipator

    math.AP 2025-07 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    An explicit incompressible flow on the 2-torus is constructed that simultaneously causes anomalous dissipation, Richardson dispersion, anomalous regularization, and spatial intermittency for every Hölder exponent below 1.
