Chaotic mixing in a basin due to a sinusoidal wind field

This paper presents a novel numerical study of wind-induced mixing in a circular shallow lake. The wind-induced hydrodynamic field is first predicted by a Godunov-type shallow water equation solver based on a quadtree grid. Then the horizontal mixing processes are analysed in terms of chaotic advect...
