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 کاملThe Mixing Efficiency of Open Flows
Mixing in open incompressible flows is studied in a model problem with inhomoge-neous passive scalar injection on an inlet boundary. As a measure of the efficiency of stirring, the bulk scalar concentration variance is bounded and the bound is shown to be sharp at low Péclet number. Although no specific flow saturating the bound at high Péclet number is produced here, the estimate is conjecture...
متن کاملMixing and Un-mixing by Incompressible Flows
We consider the questions of efficient mixing and un-mixing by incompressible flows which satisfy periodic, no-flow, or no-slip boundary conditions on a square. Under the uniform-in-time constraint ‖∇u(·, t)‖p ≤ 1 we show that any function can be mixed to scale ε in time O(| log ε|1+νp), with νp = 0 for p < 3+ √ 5 2 and νp ≤ 13 for p ≥ 3+ √ 5 2 . Known lower bounds show that this rate is optima...
متن کاملClustering by mixing flows.
We calculate the Lyapunov exponents for particles suspended in a random three-dimensional flow, concentrating on the limit where the viscous damping rate is small compared to the inverse correlation time. In this limit Lyapunov exponents are obtained as a power series in epsilon, a dimensionless measure of the particle inertia. Although the perturbation generates an asymptotic series, we obtain...
متن کاملTurbulent mixing of stratified flows
A mathematical model for turbulent mixing of stratified, sheared flows is developed and explored. Two applications are emphasized, one to the dynamics of the ocean well–mixed layer, and another to the analysis of the stability of equilibrium profiles away from boundaries.
