Enhancing Efficiency of Mixing in Chaotic Flows
We propose a mechanism by which the efficiency of mixing in chaotic flows can be enhanced. Our mechanism consists of introducing small changes in the system parameters in regions of phase space where the local Lyapunov exponent falls substantially below its average value. We have applied our mechanism to several typical chaotic maps and flows including a system of chemical reactions. We find th...
متن کاملChaotic mixing in microdroplets.
We describe a general methodology for introducing thorough chaotic mixing in microdroplets. The mixing properties of fluid flows in microdroplets are governed by their symmetries, which give rise to invariant surfaces serving as barriers to transport. Complete three-dimensional mixing by chaotic advection requires destruction of all flow invariants. To illustrate this idea, we demonstrate that ...
متن کاملWalls inhibit chaotic mixing.
We report on experiments of chaotic mixing in a closed vessel, in which a highly viscous fluid is stirred by a moving rod. We analyze quantitatively how the concentration field of a low-diffusivity dye relaxes towards homogeneity, and we observe a slow algebraic decay of the inhomogeneity, at odds with the exponential decay predicted by most previous studies. Visual observations reveal the domi...
متن کاملMicroswimmer-induced chaotic mixing
Efficient mixing, typically characterized by chaotic advection, is hard to achieve in low Reynolds number conditions because of the linear nature of the Stokes equation that governs the motion. Here we show that low-Reynolds-number swimmers moving on quasi-periodic orbits can result in considerable stretching and folding of fluid elements. We accurately follow packets of tracers within the flui...
متن کاملNearly Discontinuous Chaotic Mixing
A new scientific approach to subgrid scale modeling is presented for chaotic problems involving a high degree of mixing over rapid time scales. RichtmyerMeshkov unstable flows are typical of such problems. Chemical reaction rates for turbulent mixtures are shown to converge with feasible grid resolution. The essential dependence of fluid mixing observables on transport phenomena is observed.
