This work reviews the present position of and surveys future perspectives in the physics of
chaotic advection: the field that emerged three decades ago at the intersection of fluid …

This review is concerned with the analysis of flow regimes in porous media, in particular, in
fixed beds of spherical particles used as reactors in engineering applications, or as …

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 …

Several studies of the chaotic motion of fluid particles by two-dimensional time-periodic
flows or three-dimensional steady flows, called Lagrangian chaos, are first introduced …

Three-dimensional advection of passive tracers in non-inertial flows is studied in a finite
cylinder confined by two parallel endwalls by means of numerical simulations and laboratory …

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 …

We study three-dimensional (3D) chaotic dynamics through an analysis of transport in a
granular flow in a half-full spherical tumbler rotated sequentially about two orthogonal axes …

Magnetic actuation of microscopic beads is a promising technique for enhancement and
manipulation of scalar transport in micro-fluidic systems. This implies laminar and essentially …

Scalar fields can evolve complex coherent structures under the action of periodic laminar
flows. This comes about from the competition between chaotic advection working to create …

Inertia-induced changes in transport properties of an incompressible viscous time-periodic
flow are studied in terms of the topological properties of volume-preserving maps. In the …
