Abstract
We consider the 3D incompressible Navier–Stokes equations under the following \(2+\frac{1}{2}\)-dimensional situation: small-scale horizontal vortex blob being stretched by large-scale, anti-parallel pairs of vertical vortex tubes. We prove enhanced dissipation induced by such vortex-stretching.
