On variable viscosity and enhanced dissipation [PDF]
In this article we consider the 2D Navier-Stokes equations with variable viscosity depending on the vertical position. As our main result we establish linear enhanced dissipation near the non-affine stationary states replacing Couette flow. Moreover it turns out that the shear flow overcompensates for weakening viscosity: decreasing viscosity leads to ...

On variable viscosity and enhanced dissipation
Abstract In this article we consider the two-dimensional Navier–Stokes equations with variable viscosity depending on the vertical position. As our main result we establish linear enhanced dissipation near the non-affine stationary states replacing Couette flow. For instance, these shear flows may grow exponentially.
