The traditional advection dispersion equation is a
standard model for contaminant transport. The advection
dispersion equation is the basis of many physical and
chemical phenomena, and its use has also spread into
economics, financial forecasting and other fields. In gen-
eral, the numerical solution of advection dispersion equa-
tions has been dominated by either finite difference, fi-
nite element or boundary element methods. These meth-
ods are derived from local interpolation schemes and
require a mesh to support the application. It is well
known that the numerical solution of advection disper-
sion equation is a difficult task. Scholars try to find the
new way to obtain the solution of advection dispersion
equation. For the passive scalar, complicated behavior is
often observed even for laminar velocity fields. This is
the well-known effect of ch aotic advection in [1,2 ]. Thus
we can choose the source and stirring term of the advec-
tion dispersion equation to be any divergence-free, pos-
sibly time-dependent flow field. The mixing efficiency
depends on specific properties of the stirring and source
term. Schumacher, Sreenivasan and Yeung have obtained
bounds on high-order derivative moments of a passive
scalar for large values of the Schmidt number in [3].
Thiffeault, Doer ing and G ibbon hav e obtained bound s on
mixing efficiency for the passive scalar under the influ-
ence of advection and diffusion with a body source in
[4].

tion

that an exciting mixing configuration would have small
concentration for a given source term and stirring term,
indicating a steady state with low density of concentra-
tion. We use the fluctuations in the concentration as a
useful measure of the degree of well-mixedness, as has
long been the practice in [5,6].

In this paper we apply some recent developments in
the analysis of the BMO space to the advection disper-
sion equation. We further provide a new way of giving
the upper and lower bound for the concentration and the
gradient of concentration in the advection dispersion
equation by using BMO theory. The bounds on mixing
efficiency in this paper mainly depend on the stirring
field and the source distribution, which is very important
for allowing comparison of the relative effectiveness of
various source term for specified stirring scenarios.
Throughout the paper, we will use the letter to de-
note a generic positiv e constant that can change its value
at each occurrence.

By a well-known theorem of John-Nirenberg in [8,9],
the classical BMO of the unit circle is independent of the
p
L norm used to define it. It is also well known that a
function on the circle is in BMO if and only if the
Hankel operators with symbol and
ff
f
are both
bounded on the Hardy space of the circle. A new type of
BMO, Denoted
BMO
, is introduced in [10,11] for
any bounded domain
in the complex space . In
this paper we define the BMO space in the Bergman
metric by the
n

Lemma 2.1 implies the fact that we may regard the
average function and Berezin transform as positive func-
tion, which is very important for us to research the pa-
rameters in advection dispersion equation by using BMO
theory.
3. Main Results
In this section, we further obtain the upper and lower
bound for the concentration and the gradient of concen-
tration in the advection dispersion equation. We give the
reasons why the source term, stirring term and concen-
tration in the advection dispersion equation belong to
BMO space. In fact, BMO space extends the mean-
variance theory. According to the definition of average
function and norm of BMO space, it is clear that the av-
erage function extends the mean theory and the norm of
BMO space extends the variance theory. The parameters
in advection dispersion equation are uniformly bounded
in time, which is true under the physical assumption that
,1
s
is uniformly bounded in time. In addition, Lemma
2.1 provides the reasons for regarding the concentration,
source term and stirring term as BMO function. The

It is well known that the space is Banach
space instead of Hilbert space. So it is difficult to obtain
the adjoint of the advection dispersion operator. Then we
have to find new way of characterizing the upper and
lower bound for the concentration and the gradient of
concentration in the advection dispersion equation by
using BMO theory.

By the formula (3), the lower bound of concentration
is proportional to the source term and is inversely pro-

holding the other parameters constant. We still have the

the concentration for a particular problem, that is, for
given source term, dispersion coefficient and stirring

By the formula (5), the lower bound for the gradient of

An efficient mixing configuration would have small
concentration ,1
for a given source term and stirring
term, indicating a steady state with small variations in the
concentration. In general we expect that increasing
source term at fixed stirring term should augment con-
centration.
For the concentration, we focus on the formula (8). As
we increase the source amplitude, holding the other pa-
rameters constant, the concentration ,1
must even-

tually increase. However large concentration does not
necessarily imply large source term, as the difference can
be made up by the dispersion coefficient or stirring
term. This is what makes enhanced mixing possible. An
k
increase of ,1
implies that the scalar is more poorly
mixed. Formula (8) reflects that we can postpone the
increasing of lower bound of concentration by raising the
stirring term.
The formula (5) and the formula (7) make trouble for
us to research the factors on influencing the upper and
lower bound for the gradient of concentration in the ad-
vection dispersion equation. As we increase the disper-
sion coefficient, holding the other parameters constant,
the lower bound for the gradient of concentration must
decrease and the upper bou nd for the gradient of concen-
tration must increase. One of the reasons for this phe-
nomenon is that the gradient of concentration can be af-
fected by several environmental factors such as tempera-
ture, PH, salinity, etc. (see, [16-20]).
For the gradient of concentration, we focus on the
formula (9). As we increase the source amplitude, hold-
ing the other parameters constant, the gradient of con-
centration ,1
must eventually increase. However
large gradient of concentration does not necessarily im-
ply large source term, as the difference can be made up
by other factors. Formula (9) also reflects that we can
postpone the increasing of the upper and lower bound of
gradient of concentration by raising the stirring term.
By formula (3) and formula (6), we obtain the upper
and lower bound for the concentration in the advection
dispersion Equation (8).
By the formula (8) and (9), the concentration ,1
and the gradient of concentration ,1
seem to have
the same lower bound, which does not imply that the

formula (8) and formula (9) are wrong. By the poincares
inequality, the concentration ,1
and the gradient of
concentration ,1
must have the same form of the
lower bound.
Although our results are established on the unit ball
in , our results are obviously correct for any
bounded domain in . Since , so the
results in this paper are correct for any bounded domain

is the
solution of the advection dispersion equation with the
same source but no stirring term. By the upp er and lower
bound of dispersion coefficient, it is easy to obtain the
upper and lower of the equivalent diffusivity. The effec-
tive diffusivity is defined in terms of a large-scale gradi-
ent of the concentration, whereas here we use the ampli-
tude of the source term, which makes more sense in the
present context. In closing we note that all of our analysis,
as well as the general result that the equivalent diffusivity
depends on the source distribution being smooth enough
to have a finite variance. Point sources, for example
where

by using BMO theory, it is clear that the concentration,
dispersion coefficient and gradient of concentration in
advection dispersion equation can be affected by several
environment factors(for example [24-29]). So how to
fully consider the influence factors on the concentration,
disper sion co effic ien t and gr adie nt of con cen tration is th e
key for proceeding the subsequent job.
