Eddy growth and mixing in mesoscale oceanographic flows
We study the relation between changes in the Eulerian topology of a two dimensional flow and the mixing of fluid particles between qualitatively different regions of the flow. In general time dependent flows, streamlines and particle paths are unrelated. However, for many mesoscale oceanographic fea...
