Transport and mixing of scalar quantities in fluid flows is ubiquitous in industry and Nature.
While the more familiar turbulent flows promote efficient transport and mixing by their …

In the 1980s the incorporation of ideas from dynamical systems theory into theoretical fluid
mechanics, reinforced by elegant experiments, fundamentally changed the way in which we …

The present study proposes a unified Lagrangian transport template for topological
description of advective fluid transport and advective-diffusive scalar transport in laminar …

Mixing under laminar flow conditions is key to a wide variety of industrial fluid systems of
size extending from micrometres to metres. Profound insight into three-dimensional laminar …

Transport in laminar flows is governed by chaotic stirring and striation in long thin filaments.
In turbulent flows, isotropic mixing dominates and tracers behave like stochastic variables. In …

In many important chemical processes, the laminar flow regime is inescapable and defines
the performance of reactors, separators, and analytical instruments. In the emerging field of …

Invariant manifolds can serve as a geometric template for the study of chaotic advection. In
particular, global stable and unstable manifolds of invariant hyperbolic or normally …

Scalar transport in closed potential flows is investigated for the specific case of a periodically
reoriented dipole flow. Despite the irrotational nature of the flow, the periodic reorientations …

We present a review and a new assessment of the Lagrangian dispersion properties of a 2D
model of chaotic advection and diffusion in a regular lattice of non stationary kinematic …

▪ Abstract Chaotic advection and, more generally, ideas from dynamical systems, have been
fruitfully applied to a diverse, and varied, collection of mixing and transport problems arising …
