Topological chaos in inviscid and viscous mixers

Topological chaos may be used to generate highly effective laminar mixing in a simple batch stirring device. Boyland, Aref and Stremler (2000) have computed a material stretch rate that holds in a chaotic flow, provided it has appropriate topological properties, irrespective of the details of the fl...
