Impulsively kicked sinusoidal shear dispersion
ID: impulsively-kicked-sinusoidal-shear-dispersion
When velocity consists of impulses spaced by , the periodic corrector jumps by and decays between kicks. With , for . Integrating in the effective diffusivity of a periodic sinusoidal shear formula yields the displayed result. For , independent transverse phases give longitudinal variance per kick and enhancement . For , the enhancement is to leading order, the steady-shear result for average speed . The zero-diffusivity limit does not commute with the long-time limit: without transverse diffusion the displacement is ballistic.
