l~11crethe right hand side is the Eulerinn velocity field (a solution of the
Nal ier Stokes equations. for example) and the initial condition corresponds
the initial configuration of the line o r surface placed o r fed into the
tlolv ( S represents the location of the initial condition x = X ) . Seen in this
light. the problem can be formulated by merging the kinematical foundations of fluid mechanics (Chapters 3 and 3 ) and the theory of dynamical
s!\lems (Chapters 5 ; ~ n d6). The approach adopted here is to analyze
siml'lc protypical flows to enhance intuition and to extract conclusions
or idea. I t is important to note also that some sections of the book can be
rcgnrded as work in progress and that complete accounts most likely will
(allow, expanding over the short descriptions given here; a few of the
problems, those at the level of small research papers are indicated with
an asterisk (*). In several passages I have pointed out problems that need
work. Ideally, new questions will occur to the reader.
Notes
I Even the terminology is complicated. For example. in chemical engineering the terms mixing,
agitation. and blending are common (Hyman, 1963; McCabe and Smith, 1956, Chap.
2. Section 9; Ulbrecht and Patterson, 1985). The terms mixing. advection, and
stirring appear in geophysics; e.g.. Eckart. 1948; Holloway and Kirstmannson. 1984.
Inevitably. different disciplines have created their own terminology (e.g., classical reaction
engineering, combustion, polymer processing, etc.).
2 Kinematics appears as an integral part of books in continuum mechanics but much less so
in modern fluid mechanics. There are exceptions ofcourse: Chapters V and VI of the work
of Tietjens based on the lecture notes by Prandtl contain and unusually long description
01"deformation and motion around a point (Prandtl and Tietjens, 1934).

concepts require modification if the fluids are miscible
or immiscible. I f the fluids are immiscible, at some point in the mixing
process the striations o r blobs d o not remain connected and break into
snlnllcr fragments (Figure 1.1.1 (c)). At these length scales the interfaces
arc not prrs,sir.c~and instead of being convected (passively) by the flow,
they nlodify the surrounding flow, making the analysis considerably more
complicated (in this case the interfaces are termed uc.tioe, see Aref and
Tryggvuson, 1984). If the fluids are miscible we can still track material
volumes in terms of a (hypothetical) non-diffusive tracer which moves
with the mean mass velocity of the fluid o r any other suitable reference
velocity. Designated surfaces of the tracer remain connected and diffusing
species traverse them in both directions.' However, during the mixing
process, connected iso-concentration surfaces might break and cuts might
rcvcal islands rather than striations (Figure I . l . l ( h ) ) . In this case the
specification of the concentration fields of 11 - 1 species constitutes a
complete description of mixing but it is also clear that this is a n elusive goal.
Thus, it is apparent that the goal of mixing is reduction of length scales
(thinning of material volumes and dispersion throughout space, possibly
involving breakup), and in the case of miscible fluids, uniformity of
concentration.' With this as a basis, we discuss a few of the ideas used
to describe mixing and then move to examples before returning to the
problem formulation in Section 1.4.

1.4. Approach
In spite of its overwhelming diversity, fluid mixing is basically a process
ln~olvinga reduction of length scales accomplished by stretching and
folding of material lines or surfaces. In some cases the material surface
Or line in question is placed in the flow and then subseqently stretched
le.%Figures 12.1, 1.3. I 3). in others, the surface is continuously fed into
'he flow (cg.. Figures 1.3.5 6). Thus. at the most elementary level (i.e..
without averaging but at the continuum level) rnising c.onsists of' stretching

panied by breakup if the fluids are sufficiently different, and simultaneous
diffusion of species and energy (Figure 1.1.1 ). In the most general case,
various chemical species might be reacting. We seek an understanding of
this process in terms of simple problems which can serve as a 'window'
for more complicated situations. O u r approach is to combine the kinematical foundations of fluid mechanics with dynamical systems concepts,
especially chaotic dynamics. The objective throughout is to gain insight
into the working of mixing flows. The goal is not to construct detailed
models of specific problems but rather to provide prototypes for a broad
class of problems. Nevertheless. we expect that the insight gained by the
analysis will be important in practical applications such as the design of
mixing devices and understanding of mixing experiments.
Mixing is also inherently related to flow visualization. However,
contrary to popular perception the 'unprocessed' Eulerian velocity field
gives very little information about mixing and the typical ways of
visualizing a flow (streamlines. pathlines, and to a lesser degree. streaklines)
are insufficient to completely understand the process. As we shall see, our
problem begirls rather rharl ends with the specificurion of v(x, r). The solution
of
dxidr = V ( X , I )
with x = X at time t = 0. x = @,(X),which is called the flohv or motion,"
provides the starting point for our analysis. In even the simplest cases this
'solution' might be extremely hard to obtain. Actually. the impossibility of
integrating the velocity field in the conventional sense is the subject of
much of Chapters 5 and 6, where the modern notion of irlteyrability is
introduced. The kinematical foundations lie in an understanding of the
point transformation x = @,(X).
We consider the following sub-problems:
( 1 ) Within the framework of x = @,(X):mixing of a single fluid or similar
fluids.
The basic objective here is to compute the length (or area) corresponding
to a set of initial conditions. As we shall see only in a few cases can this
be done exactly and in most of these the length stretch is mild. The best
achievable mixing corresponds to exponential stretching nearly everywhere
and occurs in some regions of chaotic flows. However. under these
conditions the (exact) calculation of the length and location of lines and
areas is hopelessly complicated. As we shall see in Chapter 5 even extremely

Introduction
Notes
1 Obviously, one o f the diffusing species can be temperature, as is the case of mixing
of fluids with different initial temperatures or processes involving exothermic chemical
reactions.
2 A gross, but popular, measure of the concentration variation is given by the intensity of
srqreqution, I . If ~ ( xdenotes
)
the concentration at point x and ( . ) denotes a volume
average, I is defined as [(((.- ( c ) ) ~ ) ] ' / ' (Danckwerts, 1952).
3 Many ofthese references inspired additional work. Some, however, were largely ignored.
4 Subsequently, this problem took a life of its own and much research followed. See for
example Rallison (1984).
5 This idea was not widely followed and most of the mixing work in the area of drop breakup
and coalescence in complex flow fields resorts to population balances where breakup and
coalescence are taken into account in a probabilistic sense.
6 This paper contains many good ideas, however, it has remained largely ignored
by the mixing community.
7 In the past few years there has been a revival of this idea (e.g., Spalding, 1976, 1978b;
Ottino, 1982).
8 The theory also found use in two-phase mixing. An early reference is Shinnar (1961).
9 The analysis of mixing of viscous fluids has been largely confined to polymers
(Middleman, 1977; Tadmor and Gogos, 1979).A follow up paper, written in the context
of the mixing of glasses. is Cooper (1966). Even though Cooper's treatment of the
kinematics is at the same level as Mohr, Saxton, and Jepson (1957), there is
substantially more, since it deals explicitly with mass diffusion. This paper, however,
has remained largely ignored.
10 This approach works well for pre-mixed reactors with slow reactions, but it is not suited
for diffusion controlled reac!ions, such as in combustion. Curiously enough, the
participation of chemical engineers in subjects dealing with non-pre-mixed reactors has
been relatively minor and in spite of complex chemistry, the area has become largely the
domain of mechanical and aerospace engineering researchers. See the discussion (pp. 100102) following the paper by Danckwerts (1958). Much work followed along these
lines. For a summary, see Nauman and Buffham (1983).
I I With the possible exception of the very last example of the last chapter. we do not consider
fluid-solid systems.
12 See for example Veronis, 1973: Rhines. 1979; 1983. and the articles by Holland
('Ocean circulation models'. pp. 3 4 5 ) . Veronis ('The use of tracer in circulation
studies'. pp. 169188), and Rhines ('The dynamics of unsteady currents'.
pp. 18%318), in Goldberg er a l . , 1977.
( 1974,,
In the first part of this chapter we record the basic kinematical foundations
of fluid mechanics, starting with the primitive concept of particle and
motion, and the classical ways of visualizing a flow. In the second part
we give the basic equations for the deformation of infinitesimal material
lines, planes, and volumes, both with respect to spatial, x, and material,
X, variables, and present equations for deformation of lines and surfaces
of finite extent.
2.1. Flow
The physical idea of flow is represented by the map or point transformation
(Arnold, 1985, Chap. 1 )
x = @,(X)
with X = @,=,(X),
(2.1.1)
i.e., the initial condition of particle X (a means of identifying a point in
a continuum, in this case labelled by its initial position vector) occupies
the position x at time t (see Figure 2.1 .I ). We say that X is mapped to x
after a time t.'
In continuum mechanics (2.1 .I ) is called the motion and is usually
assumed to be invertible and differentiable. In the language of dynamical
systems a mapping
@,(XI x
(2.1.2)
is called a Ck diffeomorphism if it is 1-1 and onto, and both a,(.)and
its inverse are k-times differentiable. If k = 0 the transformation is called
a homeomorphism. In fluid mechanics, k is usually taken equal to three
(see Truesdell, 1954; Serrin, 1959). Also, the transformation (2.1.1 ) is
required to satisfy

where X) is the set of particles belonging to V, (Vo = {X} and V, = ( x ) ) ,

v, (a@ls)(x,)~at)l,= v,(x,, t )
and the average mass velocity is defined as
-x
v
(P,/P)~,.
The time derivative of any function G following the motion of the species
denoted s, is given by
DG'"/Dt = aG/at + v;VG,
and the relative velocities are defined by
Us = v , - V .
us = - W, DVO,
(i.e., dilute solution or equimolecular counter-diffusion, Bird, Stewart, and
Lightfoot, 1960, p. 502) where w, is the mass fraction (=p/p,) and D is
the diffusion coefficient.
Other quantities, such as individual deformation tensors for species-S,
etc., can be defined analogously (Bowen, 1976) but they are not used in
this work.
Given the Eulerian velocity field v = v(x, t), the particle path of X is given
by the solution of dxldt = v(x, t ) with x = X at t = 0. Physically it

we shall see there are many systems (Chapter 5) that diverge from the
initial conditions at an exponential rate, i.e., the non-strict inequality
becomes an equality.'

2.4.2. Stveamlines
The picture at time t of the streakline passing through the point x' is the
curved formed by all the particles X which happened to pass by x' during
the time 0 < t' < t. Physically, it corresponds to the curve traced out by
a non-diffusive tracer (i.e., the particles X of the tracer move according
to x = @,(X))injected at the position x'.
Example 2.4.1
Compute the pathlines, streamlines, and streaklines corresponding to the
unsteady Eulerian velocity field
"1 = x l l ( l
t),
To compute the pathlines we solve
+ t),
v 2 = 1.
dx2/dt = 1

s, = X,
x 1 x 2= X1(l - X2).
+t
24
i.e., the particles move in straight lines. The streamlines are given by the
solution of
dx,~d=
s x,/(l + t),
dx,/ds = 1
with the condition x, = x y , x, = x;, at s = 0, while holding r constant.
Thus, the streamline passing by x, = xy, x , = x;, is given by
x, = x,0 + s,
x , = xy exp[s/(l + t ) ] ,
and eliminating the parameter s,
( 1 + t ) ln(x,jxy) = x , - x,,0
which shows that the streamlines are time dependent. T o get the streakline
passing through x',, x; we first invert the particle paths at time t'
X , = ,u; - t ' ,
X I = xi/( l t'),
which indicates that the particlt X , , X , will be found at the position x i , x;
at time t'. The place occupied by this particle at any time t is found again
from the particle path as
x, = .u; - t' t ,
x , = x',(l t ) J ( l t ' ) ,
and is interpreted as: the particle which occupied position x;, x; at time
t' will be found in position x,, x , at time t . Eliminating ['we get the locus
of the streakline passing by x',, x;:
x , ( l + x ; + t ) + x',(I + t ) = 0
which shows that the streaklines ure ulso ,functions of' time (plots
corresponding to this example are given by Truesdell and Toupin, 1960,
p. 333).

happened to be at the position P a t a time r = 0, without loss of generality,

the flow at different times we have the sequence Po, P,,P,, . . .,
p,, r p . Note that the concept of periodicity depends also on the frame
of reference. "'

Bibliography
Even though the kinematical foundation of fluid mechanics dates from
the seventeenth century, little is given nowadays in standard works in
fluid mechanics. For modern accounts the reader should consult works
in continuum mechanics. The presentation given here is based on a much
larger body of work. The most comprehensive account is given by Truesdell
and Toupin (1960, pp. 226-793). A brief and lucid account is given by
Chadwick (1976) in Continuum mechunics. A more advanced treatment
is given in Chapter I1 of Truesdell (1977). Other accessible accounts,
slanted towards solid mechanics and fluid mechanics are given by Malvern
(1969) and Aris (1962), respectively, whereas for historical references the
reader should consult Truesdell (1954). A classical work in fluid mechanics
with an unusually long discussion on the kinematics of flow around a
point is Fundamentals of hydro- and aerodynamics by Tietjens, based
on the lectures by Prandtl (see Prandtl and Tietjens, 1934). One of the
best visual demonstrations of Lagrangian and Eulerian descriptions is
given in the movie Eulerian and Layranyian descriptions in ,fluid mechanics.
One clear visual treatment of deformation around a point is given in the
movie Dqformation in continuou.~media. Both films are by J. L. Lumley.
The scripts are given in Illustrated experiments in ,fluid mechanics, produced
by the National Committee for Fluid Mechanics Films, MIT Press,
Cambridge, 1972. The 'kinematical reversibility' of creeping flows is
illustrated in the film Low Reynolds number creeping flows, by Taylor, also
in Illustrated experiments in fluid mechanics, and in the article 'An
unmixing demonstration', by Heller (1960). Both works focused on Couette
flows, which are the exception rather than the rule among all twodimensional flows. In most cases reversibility is impossible in practice due
to unbounded growth of initial errors.

3 It is well documented that the association of names is incorrect but it is apparently
too late to set the record straight. Both descriptions are actually due to Euler. For
the historical account of credits see Truesdell and Toupin. 1960. p. 327 and Truesdell,
1954. p. 30.
In this chapter we record for further use and completeness the equations
of conservation of mass and linear momentum and laws of tri~nsformation
for velocity. acceleration, velocity gradient, etc., for frame transformations
involving translation and rotation. We conclude the chapter by studying
thc equations of motion in terms of vorticity and the streamfunction.

conditions under which a velocity field is steady in a moving frame

Bibliography
This chapter is a very succinct account of fluid mechanics suited only to
our rather specific needs. The interested reader should consult the original
works on which this exposition is based. The sections on conservation
equation are inspired in the classical article, 'The mathematical principles
of classical fluid mechanics', by Serrin (1959). The treatment of vorticity
follows Batchelor (1979). For a treatment of change of frame and
objectivity the reader should consult the book by Chadwick, Continuum
r,ic~c~hclriir..s
(1976). A few sections, such as Example 3.12.1. are based on
the article by Truesdell and Toupin (1960).

denoted (e;), and (e,*), . Other efficiencies, for finite material lines and
surfaces will be used when convenient.
Frame indifference
The efficiencies e, and e, are frame indifferent, i.e., they are objective,
e, = e>,e, = eb, under the frame transformation x' = x,(t) + Q ( t ) . x . Note
that D, m, and n, are frame indifferent. Since D, m, and n transform as
Q . D.QT, Q - m , and Q - n , respectively, then D: mm, D : nn, and D: D are
also frame indifferent. Additionally, since V.v is also frame indifferent, it
follows that e, and e, are frame indifferent. Note, however, that e: and
e,* are not frame indifferent since Vv is not objective.
Physical meaning of e, and e,
For purely viscous fluids, ( D : D)'I2 is related to the viscous dissipation.
For example, for incompressible Newtonian fluids T : D = 2p(D: D). In this
case the efficiency can be thought of as the fraction of the energy dissipated
locally that is used to stretch fluid elements.
Relationships among e,, e, and eX and e,*
Since
Vv: ( V V )=~D: D - O : O
it follows that
e* = e,/(l
+ W:)'I2,
i = j., q
where
W i = - (Q:O)/(D:D )

Thus, flows with elongational character are efficient but the efficiency of
shear-like flows is poor unless special precautions are taken. One way to
increase the efficiency of rotational flows is by periodic reorientation of
filaments or areas to offset the tendency of the flow efficiency to decay as

( D : D)'I2 = O(2UIH)). As expected, for short times the stretching of the
vertical interface is more efficient since the line is placed perpendicular to
the streamlines. However, rather quickly, the efficiency becomes independent of the initial orientation of the line and, on the average, the efficiency
decays as t l . This is a case of mixing with weak reorientation. More
complete computational results indicate the aspect ratio WIH, has a very
small effect on the (dimensionless) stretch, which is mostly confined to
changing the period of oscillation (of order WIU).

Thus, in an S C F the surfaces .u' = constant are material surfaces and they
slide over one another without net stretching (Huilgol, 1975, Chap. 2).

one possible way to increase mixing in such flows. One might start with
hyperbolic flow (see Section 2.5) and try to improve the stretching by
somehow closing the flow, i.e., by feeding the outflow into the inflow as
indicated qualitatively in Figure 4.7.1. By continuity, nearby orbits have
to close smoothly and form closed loops. The expectation might be that
since the stretching in the neighborhood of the hyperbolic flow is
exponential, then every time that a line segment passes by the hyperbolic
region the stretches are compounded in such a way that the stretching is
exponential.
However, this is illusory. As long as the flow is steady, isochoric, and
two-dimensional, we can construct a streamfunction $(x, y) such that
v . V $ = 0. This implies that a material filament is trapped between curves
of constant $. Another way of seeing this is to note that the topology of
the streamlines in two-dimensional area preserving flows is composed of
basically two building blocks: hyperbolic points (stagnation points) and
elliptic points. It is obvious that if the flow is bounded and steady the
streamlines join smoothly, and that a n initially designated material
very much in
filament can spiral between the two curves, $ , and $,
the same way as in a Couette flow but that the length increase will grow
linearly for long times (see Problem 4.7.1).11 Indeed, as we shall see in

10 This involves changing simultaneously the stretching time t and the location r if w is
regarded as constant in the vortex flow or the time t and the shear rate G in theshear flow.
I I There is substantially more to the analogy with the Couette flow. The Couette flow
might be regarded as the prototype of an integrable flow (Chapter 6).
12 This does not imply that the streamfunction cannot be complicated. For example,
Berker (1963), mentions three special cases studied by Oseen (1930) (cf.
pp. 3 and 4). The streamfunctions studied can be interpreted as the superposition
of two mutually orthogonal logarithmic spirals giving rise to Ivl = constant. In this
case the portrait of the streamlines is complex enough to deserve the name of 'pseudoturbulent' indicated by Berker.
5.1. Introduction
In Chapter 3 we considered classical ways of visualizing flows using
'classical' fluid mechanical tools such as streamlines, pathlines, and
streaklines, which could be regarded as global in the sense that they give
some information about the entire flow. The same can be said about
instantaneous contour plots of viscous dissipation, vorticity, helicity, and
various other quantities. On the other hand, in Chapter 4, we considered
descriptors that have to do with stretching at local scales, e.g., specific
length stretch, area stretch, and mixing efficiency. However, as we have seen,
only in a few cases can the velocity field be integrated exactly to compute
the stretching, and in those cases where i t is indeed possible it does appear
that the rate of stretching is mild. As we shall see, for most velocity fields
with good mixing abilities, i t is often impossible to obtain the flow.
Consequently, in many cases of interest we are unable to calculate the
local quantities described in Chapter 4.
In this chapter we reconsider the central question of our analysis,
namely: What are the conditions under which a deterministic flow
K = @,(X) is able to stretch as efficiently as possible a material surface
:hroughout the space occupied by the fluid?' Even though it is not possible
.o give a complete answer to this question, in this chapter we will focus
)n some relevant aspects of the general problem, to build intuition when
Ne examine the prototypical model flows in Chapter 7 and 8 from a
lynamical systems viewpoint. Therefore, in order to provide some back;round, we present here some of the main elements of the theory of
lynamical systems.

is the deformation gradient in N- dimension^.^ In particular, setting
G = const. in the transport theorem (Section 2.2), we obtain Liouville's
theorem,
where V(0) denotes the volume of the initial conditions, {X}, and V(t)
denotes the volume of the initial conditions at time t , i.e., {x}= @,{X}.4
If V - f < 0 (see Equation (5.2.1)) the system is called dissipative.
Dissipative systems contract volume in phase space. In Chapter 6 we will
consider Hamiltonian systems, which conserve volume in phase space.
These systems have the structure
where H is called the Hamiltonian and is a function of the pks and q,s,
and in some cases an explicit function of time. In particular, problems
arising from Newton's law of motion can be cast into this structure.
Under fairly non-restrictive conditions the solution of the dynamical
system (5.2.1) (see Section 2.4) gives rise to a flow x = @,(X), i.e., the
initial condition X is found at x at time t . Given any point x, belonging
to the phase space iWn x iW at some time arbitrarily designated as zero, the
orbit or trajectory based at x, is given by @,(x,) for all times t . Thus,
@,,,(x,) denotes the orbit of x, for t > 0 (future times) and @,,,(x,) for
all t <O (past times). In general, we refer to the system of ordinary
differential equations (5.2.1) and its associated flow as a continuous
dynumical system.
In some instances it is not necessary (or possible) to follow the trajectory
of every initial condition continuously in time through the phase space
and it is more convenient to record their positions at specified times.
Consider for example that the position of the initial condition X = x, is

The effects of the different linear mappings S on the square (0, 1 ) x (0, 1)
are shown in Figure 5.4.2 (this analysis follows Percival and Richards,
1982, Chap. 2). The parabolic case corresponds to simple shear. Note
that if the initial condition x, belongs to one of the eigenspaces, successive
mappings are given by x, = Lyx, (i = 1 , 2); therefore all the x,s remain in
the eigenspace. It follows that if /tr[A]/ > 2 one of the eigenvalues has
modulus greater than one, and x, becomes unbounded. The mapping is
said to be unstable. In general we say that the mapping is hyperbolic if
none of its eigenvalues belongs to the unit circle; therefore hyperbolic
mappings are unstable. O n the other hand if /tr[A]/ < 2 the eigenvalues
are complex conjugates and lie on the unit circle (Arnold, 1980, p. 116).
In this case the system is called cllipticx and the system is .stirhle. The

flow into a map. The concept was known to Poincare and Birkhoff. As
an example of the idea, consider an autonomous continuous dynamics]
system rlxirit = f ( x ) with x E [W.' and a periodic orbit with period T. Cut
the orbit transversally with a (small) plane and denote the intersection as
P (Figure 5.5.1). Consider the successive intersections of orbits originating
from a point x , near to P . The successive intersections define a map
x,,, = @(x,,),i.e., the point x , is mapped to x, = @ ( x , ) ,the point x, is
mapped to x, = @(x,) = a 2 ( x ,), and so on. Note that the time between
successive intersections need not be equal to ~."igure
5.5.1(u)shows
this idea graphically in three-dimensions. Thus the periodic trajectory in
phase space corresponds to a fixed point of the mapping
P = @(P).
In the same fashion, a periodic trajectory of period-2 corresponds to a
mapping such that
P, = @(PI1,
p , =@(P,)
or
P, = a 2 ( P , )
and so on (see Figure 5 . 5 . l ( h ) ) .
The ideas can be generalized: for example if dx;dt = f ( x ) with x E R" we
consider a surface of dimension N - 1 , x ( x ) = 0, such that the flow is
everywhere transverse to
i.e.,
x,
V X ( x ) . f ( x )f 0

These ideas can be extended to the non-linear system. For example, for
the system dx,rlr = f ( x ) with a flow x = @,(X), the stable, W S ( P ) , and
unstable, Wu(P), manifolds associated with the hyperbolic point P are
defined by:
W'(P) = (all X E R v such that @,(X) -t P as t -t x
W u ( P )= :all X E R,' such that @,(X) -t P as t -t - x ) .
Similarly, for mappings we have
W'(P) = [all X E R' such that G " ( x ) -t P as 11 x 1
CVu(P)= [all X E RV such that G"(x)-+ P as n - x ) . I 4
An interpretation of CV'(P) and CVu(P) in the context of the Poincare
maps corresponding to a hyperbolic cycle is given in Figure 5.6.2.
Fluid dynamics provides a visual analog for periodic points and stable
and unstable manifolds. Consider a two-dimensional time-periodic velocity
field and focus on the behavior of a small fluid element near an elliptic
cycle and a hyperbolic cycle. If a material point P belonging to the cycle
is surrounded by a small blob S the elliptic cycle produces a net rotation

of the blob when P returns to its original position whereas the hyperbolic
cycle contracts the blob in one direction and stretches i t in another. I n
this case, the unstable manifold Wu(P)corresponds to the region mapped
out by the blob when time runs forward (see Figure 5.6.3). A seemingly
minor complication in the blob experiment corresponds to the case when
the blob S comes back folded upon its initial position, as shown in Figure
5.6.4. The complication, however, is profound. This construction, which
will be studied in Section 5.8.3, is prototypical of chaotic flows.
Note that uniqueness of solutions places strong restrictions on the
behavior of stable and unstable manifolds. For example, two unstable
(or stable) manifolds belonging to two different periodic (or fixed) points
cannot intersect; also WU(P)cannot intersect with itself, similarly, Ws(P)
cannot intersect with itself. However, intersections of stable and unstable
manifolds belonging to the same or different points are permitted and
are, in fact, responsible for much of the complex behavior of flows.

connection
of the same cycle, the connection is called homoclinic (see Figure 5.8.1).
Similar definitions apply to maps. A point y is called heteroclinic (Smale,
1967; Guckenheimer and Holmes, 1983, p. 22, etc.) if it belongs simultaneously to both the stable and unstable manifolds of two different fixed (or
periodic) points p and q. Thus, y is heteroclinic if
Y E W U ( p ) nW"q).
The point is called homoclinic if p = q. If the point of intersection of the
manifolds at y is transversal, i.e., the manifolds intersect non-tangentially,
then y is called a transverse homoclinic point (similarly for heteroclinic).
Generally, when no confusion arises, a transverse homoclinic point is
called a homoclinic point (similarly for heteroclinic). Figure 5.8.2 shows
homoclinic and heteroclinic points for a map; only parts of the stable and
unstable manifolds are shown. Such maps can be originated by the
transverse intersection of one or two hyperbolic cycles, as shown in Figure
5.8.1.
By definition, homoclinic and heteroclinic points belong simultaneously
to two invariant sets and therefore cannot escape from them.'' One
intersection implies infinitely many. In the case of an orientation preserving
flow - as are all the systems originated from differential equations the
area A is mapped to A' (if the area A is mapped to B the map does not

for some t' > 0. Non-wut~drringpoints are defined to be those points which
are not wandering. For example, the points belonging to a closed orbit
are non-wandering since portions of the neighborhood intersect the initial
location. Non-wandering points do not imply periodic behavior. In fact,
it is possible to show that homoclinic points are non-wandering (and they
are clearly not periodic). Moreover, in every neighborhood of a homoclinic
point there is a periodic point (see Smale, 1967).

we say that the system is strongly topologically mixing. Measuretheoretic mixing implies topological mixing.22
Measure-theoretic mixing is the best achievable mixing. A physical feeling
for measure-theoretic mixing can be obtained by means of a deceptively
looking simple transformation which is called the 'baker's transformation',
so named by the analogy of rolling and cutting dough. In the simplest case
we cut a square and then we stack the pieces as indicated in Figure 5.8.7(a).
A theorem asserts that a flow is measure-theoretic mixing if there exists
a homeomorphism (i.e., a C0 diffeomorphism) of the region R to a square
under which the flow becomes a baker's t r a n ~ f o r m a t i o n Since
. ~ ~ measuretheoretic mixing is the best possible mixing then the baker's transformation
is the best mixing device. However, generally we are dealing with
continuous flows which preserve connectedness and do not allow for
cutting and welding.24
The closest that we can come to a 'baker's transformation' is stretching
and folding as shown in Figure 5.8.7(b) and hope that not much material
is 'lost' in the transformation (i.e., it leaves the quadrilateral). Such a
construction is probably the simplest example of the so called Smale
Horseshoe Map (Smale, 1967). The forward mapping is denoted ,f(S); the
inverse map is denoted f - (S); forward iterates are denoted as f "(S) and
backward iterates as f -"(S). Both maps are defined geometrically in Figure
5.8.7 (the reader should check that the mapping of all points A , B, to A', B',
etc. in the forward and backward transformations is indeed correct).
Note that the horseshoe map can approximate a baker's transformation
by restricting the amount of material that goes out of the q ~ a d r i l a t e r a l . ~ ~

since it involves a 180" rotation. The values of i., and i., are selected in
such a way that 0 < i., < and i., > 2 so that the vertical striations are
disjoint. Thus, both f' restricted to f ( S ) n S and f ' - I restricted to
f ' - ' ( S ) n S are linear; the non-linearity comes in due to the folding. I t is
clear that n-applications of the forward mapping create 2" vertical
striations occupying an area 2";"; (Figure 5.8.8 shows f 2 ( S ) ) . Since
0 < i., < the total area goes to zero as n tends to infinity. Something
similar occurs for the backward striations (area 2"E.;). Note that if the
map is area preserving i.,i., = 1 .
Figure 5.8.8 shows the 'loss' of material that does not get mixed by the
transformation (i.e., it goes somewhere else in the flow region where it
may or may not get mixed by another horseshoe map) and, in fact we
might think of the horseshoe map as a baker's transformation with loss

which clearly displays the intersections of forward and backward transformations characteristic of horseshoes (see Abraham and Shaw, 1985.
Part 3. Chap. 5). Thus, we might visualize the horseshoe as a sort of
'black box' mixing device: material enters and comes out partially mixed.
I t is then natural to think of improving the mixing characteristics of the
system by feeding back its output; another possibility is to 'connect' several
horseshoes (Rising, 1989).

The origin of most of the material presented in this chapter is mathematical
but much of the motivation can be found in physics and astronomy. In
a very general sense there are two kinds of chaotic systems: dissipative
.sy.stt.ms - with one-dimensional linear mappings being the most pervasive
example - and Hu~niltoniunsyste~ns,which will be treated in Chapter 6.
Historically, the earliest studies focused on Hamiltonian systems and were
concerned with celestial mechanics; e.g., stability of the solar system. The
earliest work can be traced back to Poincare (1892, 1893, 1899); the

The equations describing the trajectory of a fluid particle in a twodimensional isochoric flow are a Hamiltonian system, a special case of a
volume preserving dynamical system. The objective of this chapter is to
discuss the general structure of chaotic Hamiltonian systems, with an
emphasis on periodic systems with one-degree of freedom and timeperiodic Hamiltonians. Central to the understanding of these systems is
the study of the flow near hyperbolic and elliptic fixed and periodic points.
Hamiltonian systems conserve volume in phase space and in PoincarC
sections. As we shall see, this restriction has important implications in
unravelling the general structure of these systems, especially near elliptic
points, and is the most important point of departure from the previous
chapter.
6.1. Introduction
It seems at first contradictory to focus on Hamiltonian systems in the
context of mixing of viscous fluids. However, the connection is purely
kinematic and involves no approximations. As seen in Chapter 3, the
equations describing the trajectory of a fluid particle in an isochoric
two-dimensional velocity field are
dr2/dt = - i?$/?.u,,
dsl/dr = (7$/i?u2,
where $ is the streamfunction. Such a system of equations, regardless of
the form of $ is a Hamiltonian system (Aref, 1984) and therefore it is
profitable to study fluid mixing from such a viewpoint to exploit the
substantial body of theory focusing on these systems. The system is said
to have one degree of freedom if the flow is steady, $ = $(.u,, x,), and
two if the flow is unsteady, $ = $ ( r ls,,
, t). If $ is time-periodic we say
that the system has 'one and a half' degrees of freedom. As a confirmation
of thc ideas of Section 4.7 we will prove that two-dimensional steady flows
arc poor mixing flows and that time-periodic flows are, most likely,
effective mixing flows at least in some region of space.

or elliptic points, and the degenerate case of parabolic points (see Example
2.5.2, two-dimensional area preserving case). In the most general case the
unstable and stable manifolds of hyperbolic points join smoothly by a
curve of constant H. The essence of any integrable system is embodied
in Figure 6.4.1. To see why this is so, note that all integrable systems with
N-degrees of freedom can be transformed into N-uncoupled one-degree
of freedom systems, i.e., the system

Such a section defines a return map in the plane C, x,, = G(x,). Note
that all trajectories originating from C return to C after the period T.
Note also that area is conserved in the Poincare section.
In the case of an integrable system, the cross-section of the torus can
be regarded as an integrable twist mapping (Equation (6.3.4a,b)).An initial
trajectory starting on C wraps around the torus as indicated in Figure
6.6.1(b). The trajectory may or may not join with itself depending on the
value of toi(r). If the trajectory comes back to its initial position p in the
Poincare section after going around the torus nz-times, then p is a periodic
point of order m.
As seen in Chapter 5 the stability of fixed and periodic points
corresponds to the solution of the eigenvalue problem
where DG(p) is the Jacobian matrix of the mapping evaluated at the point

and details can be found in Batchelor (1967, p. 530), and various other
places. However, it was only recently that the case of three vortices in the
plane was shown to be integrable, and that a system of jbur, o r more
than four, vortices in an unbounded two-dimensional region is in general

6.10.2 (see Helleman, 1980, p. 185). Also. since the map preserves area,
not all the points belonging to the carve p,(O) can move inwdrd or
ouruard; some have to move inward and some have to move outward.
Also since the mapping is continuous some points d o not move at all (i.e..
tlicy cross the circle r, or in other words, they are fixed points) and due
to periodicity and conservation of area the number of such points has to
bc even. say 2k. Examination of the flow in the neighborhood of the fixed
points shows that k points are hyperbolic and k are elliptic (see Figure
0.10.2). Thus the Poincare-Birkhoff theorem (Birkhoff, 1935) tells us under

irrational orbits.
6.10.2. 7he Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser theorem (the K A M theorem)
The local picture of what happens to the ii.rlrtiorltr1 orbits in the neighborhood of an elliptic point is the context of the celebrated KAM theorem.
I t says basically that most of the invariant irrational tori of the integrable
system are conserved in the perturbed system. This theorem was outlined
by Kolmogorov (1954a,b) and proved by Arnold in a series of papers
starting in 1961. A detailed exposition is given in a very long paper written
in 1963 (Arnold, 1963). This paper gives probably the best account since
it gives background, examples, a non-rigorous heuristic derivation, and
concludes with the rigorous proofs. The results were generalized by Moser
in 1962 and subsequently by Riissman in 1970. As indicated by Arnold,
the proof is rather cumbersome and it is based on a very large number
of inequalities. The technical aspects of the proof go back to methods
developed by astronomers in the nineteenth century and, as indicated by
Kolmogorov, on earlier work by Birkhoff (1927) and a method of
successive approximations developed by Kolmogorov himself. Keeping
in line with the previous sections we will not attempt to reproduce the
theorem in detail here but rather give an outline of some of the central
ideas involved in the arguments.
Consider for simplicity an integrable Hamiltonian system with twodegrees of freedom i.e. the phase space is four dimensional. The
Hamiltoninn is of the form
H(p, q ) = HO(p)
with p = ( p , , p,) and q = (11,. ~ 1[the
~ results
)
can be generalized to a system
with N-degrees of freedom]. In this case the equations of motion take the
form
(with k = 1 , 2),
rlp,/t/t = 0
l/qh;l/t= dH1(p)/?ph,
i.e., p = constant. and
(with k = 1.21,
rlh= (dH1(p)/ipk)t 11:)
i.e.. the four-dimensional phase space contains an invariant two-dimensional torus which is characterized by two frequencies w , = dHU(p)l@l
and q = 8H'(p)ldpzwhich depend on p. As we have seen, if t he frequencies
are incommensurable, the trii-jectories never return to the initial position
on the torus (the motion is ciilled quasi-periodic or conditionally periodic).

Bibliography
Much of the material of this chapter, especially in the first sections, makes
reference to classical mechanics and theory of differential equations and
dynamical systems. For an introduction to classical mechanics we suggest
Percival and Richards (1982). An excellent but more advanced treatment
is given by Arnold (1980). A modern encyclopedic treatment covering
quantitative dynamics and the three-body problem is given by Abraham
and Marsden (1 985). Traditional treatments are given by Goldstein (1 950)
and by Synge (1960). For the general theory of dynamical systems we
recommend the books by Hirsch and Smale (1974) and any of the books
by Arnold (Arnold. 1983; 1985) and the article by Birkhoff (1920),
which is a long but accessible account of the foundations of dynamical
systems with two-degrees of freedom written in the language of classical
mechanics.
Much of the material on chaos reviewed in this section can be found
in the recent books by Lichtenberg and Lieberman (1983), Guckenheimer
and Holmes (1983) and in the review article by Helleman (1980). The book
by Lichtenberg and Lieberman (1983) addresses primarily Hamiltonian
systems and is especially useful. Other general articles containing material
on dynamical systems and chaos are: Moser (1973) which is the main
reference for the twist theorem, and Arnold (1963) which is the main
reference for the KAM theorem. This last paper is especially recommended
in spite of its difficulty and length. A useful collection of classical papers
addressing chaos in Hamiltonian systems is presented by MacKay and
Meiss (1987). The Melnikov method is analyzed in detail by Wiggins
(1988b).
Notes
I Newton's second law for a particle of unit mass is:
d2x/dt = F
where x represents the position of the particle and F the sum of the forces acting
on the particle. Using standard techniques (see Hirsch and Smale, 1 9 7 4 ) the second
order system can be transformed into a first order system by defining q i = .Y, and
pi = d.c,,/dr. I f in addition we define the Hamiltonian H ( p , q )
H ( p . q ) =:lp12 + V ( q ) ,
which corresponds to total energy of a particle moving in a potential V . Newton's
equations can be written as
dq,/dt = c'lf/c'p,,
dp,/dt = i M / ? q , ,
which are known as Hamilton's equations (Goldstein, 1 9 5 0 ) . From a more general
viewpoint, in classical mechanics it is shown that Hamilton's equations can be derived
from Lagrange's equations which in turn are an extension of Newton's equations
(see Goldstein. 1950, for a complete discussion). It should be noted that although

In this chapter we study fluid mixing in several two-dimensional timeperiodic flows. The first two flows the tendril-whorl flow and the blinking
vortex flow are somewhat idealized and admit analytical treatment; the
last two examples - the journal bearing flow and the cavity flow - can
be simulated experimentally.

7.1. Introduction
This chapter consists of two parts. In the first part (Sections 7.2 and 7.3)
we study in some detail two idealized periodic mappings, which can be
regarded, in an approximate sense, as building blocks for complex velocity
fields: ( 1 ) the tendril-whorl mapping (TW), and (2) the blinking vortex
flow (BV).' Both flows can be regarded as prototypical local flow
representations of more complex flows and they are simple enough so as to
admit some detailed analytical treatment. The analysis concentrates on:
(i) the structure of periodic points and their local bifurcations, and (ii)
the global bifurcations, or interactions among the stable and unstable
manifolds belonging to hyperbolic points. It is found that these simple
systems possess a rich and complex mixing behavior. Both mappings are
chaotic according to muthemutically accepted definitions. One of the
lessons to be extracted from the complexities encountered in the analysis
of these mappings is that there are practical limits to the level of probing
and understanding of the details of mixing in complex systems.
In the second part (Sections 7.4 and 7.5) we focus on two flows which
do not admit such a detailed treatment: (3) a Stokes's time-modulated
flow in a journal bearing, where we focus on the comparison between
experiments and computations, as well as the need for various computational and analytical tools; and (4) several kinds of low Reynolds number
cavity flows in this case we compare the performance of steady flows
with that of periodic flows and study the evolution and bifurcations of
coherent structures. Undoubtedly, many other examples and variations
will occur to the reader.

should be clear that even though the examples presented here are
gc)vcrnd by the theory of Chapters 5 and 6, our problem is not simply
one of adaptation and much work remains. Possibly the most important
diffcrcncc between conventional dynamical systems studies and the work
here is that we are interested in the rate at which phenomena
occur. Thercfore attention is focused on low period phenomena since we
want to mix both efficiently and quickly. There is also the matter of the
area occupied by chaotic and 'non-chaotic' or regular regions. Presently,
there are no predictions of the size of the mixed and unmixed regions,
no thorough studies regarding the stability of the results with respect
to geometrical changes, and no indepth studies of the relationship of
the flow to the morphology produced by the m i ~ i n g . ~
An important question to keep in mind throughout this chapter is:
What constitutes a complete analysis or understanding of a mixing flow?
In the first two examples we follow a program such as the one outlined in
Table 7.1. A loose definition as to what constitutes complete understunding
is the following: A system can be regarded as 'completely understood',
from a practical viewpoint, when the answer to the n + I question in a
program, such as the one sketched in the table, can be qualitatively
predicted from the previous n answers. In the first two examples, since
we have an explicit expression for the mapping, we can accomplish a
substantial portion of the program. In the case of the journal bearing flow
we have an exact solution to the Navier-Stokes equations, but the Eulerian
velocity is not nearly as convenient as having the mapping itself. However,
there are number of avenues left for analysis and we exploit many of these.
In the case of the cavity flow we do not have a solution for the velocity
field and the comparison with computations and analysis has to be of a
less direct nature.

the simplest case is complex enough and can be considered as the point
of departure for several generalizations (smooth variation, distribution of
time periods, etc.).
The physical motivation for this flow is that, locally, a velocity field can
be decomposed into extension and rotation (see Section 2.8). Alternatively,
according to the polar decomposition theorem, a local deformation can
be decomposed into stretching and rotation (see Section 2.7).
In the simplest case the velocity field over a single period is given by

where Textdenotes the duration of the extensional component and Trot
the duration of the rotational component. Thus, the mapping consists of
vortices producing whorls which are periodically squeezed by the hyperbolic
flow leading to the formation of tendrils, and so on. The function o ( r ) is
a positive quantity that specifies the rate of rotation. Its form is fairly
arbitrary and the results are, in a qualitative sense, fairly independent of
this choice. The most important aspect is that o ( r ) has a maximum, i.e.
d(o(r))/dr= 0 for some r. Nevertheless, independently of the form of w(r),
we can integrate the velocity fields (7.2.1) and (7.2.2) over one period to
give

where a = exp(~T~,,)
and A8 = -o(r)Trot/r, i.e., the point (x, y) goes to
(.K/z,ay) due to the extensional part, the point (r, 8), which corresponds
to (xla, ay), goes to (r, 8 + A8) due to the rotational part, and so on.

The qualitative idea of period-l (or fixed) and period-2 periodic points is
indicated in Figure 7.2.2. The composition of the extensional and
rotational maps produces, in polar coordinates,
f(r, 8 ) = (r', tan - '(a2 tan 8 ) + A6(r1))
where f denotes the composition of (7.2.1) and (7.2.2), f = f,,,.f,,,, and

Thus, thc TW mapping is characterized by two parameters: r and /3. We
noticc that the angular position depends only on a, the radial position
only on P. It is also easy to see that the origin is a fixed point for all
parameter values. For M = 0 (and < 1 + 477) there can be 0 ( p < 1 ),
1 (/I = 0, 1 ) or 2 (b > I ) periodic points. A graphical interpretation of the
equations is given in Figure 7.2.3. If M > 0 additional periodic points
might appear.

the two at radial distance r* > 1 are hyperbolic, while those at r* < 1 are
initially elliptic. Thus, at P = 1, r* = 1 there is a 'saddle-node' bifurcation
(Guckenheimer and Holmes, 1983, p. 1 56).4 As P is increased further, the
inner fixed point, which is initially elliptic, moves closer to the origin and
G becomes more negative. If g(cc)> 4, for 1) large enough, G = - 4 and a
second bifurcation takes place in which the elliptic point becomes parabolic
and then hyperbolic. In addition there are two additional period-2 elliptic
points. This bifurcation is called 'flip' or 'period-doubling'.

we have

The velocity field due to a single point vortex at the origin is given by:
o,, = T/2nr
or = 0,
where T is the strength of the vortex. The mapping consists of two parts;
each of the form
G(r, 8) = (r, 8 + A8)
where r is measured with respect to the center of the vortex and where
the angle A8 is given by A0 = TT/2nr2. Placing two vortices at distances
( - a , 0) and (a, 0) in a cartesian co-ordinate system (Figure 7.3.1), the
complete mapping, in dimensionless form, is given by:
fi(x, y) = (ti+ (x - t i )cos A8 - y sin AH, (x - ti)sin A8 + y cos A8)
where ti denotes the position of the vortex i (i = A , B), A0 = p/r2, with
p = TT/2na2,and r = ((x- ti)2+ y2)"2 (distances are made dimensionless
with respect to u so that the vortices A and B are placed at ti = +_ 1). In
the following analysis we assume that the vortex at ti=,= 1 is switched
on first and that rotation is counter-clockwise.
In this case perturbations are introduced by varying the period of the
flow, i.e., by starting from the integrable case, p = 0, and increasing the
value of p. As we shall see there are several important differences with
the TW mapping: (i) in the BV both flows are weak'' (i.e., the length of
filaments increases linearly in time) instead of having a sequence of strong
and weak flows as in the TW; and (ii) the BV flow is bounded, i.e., material
is not attracted into the flow from large distances; and (iii) the flow is a
one-parameter system rather than two as for the TW map."

the evolution of the intensity of segregation which might be used to mimic
mixing times. Several other possible numerical experiments are suggested
and many others might occur to the reader.
Figure 7.3.4 shows two candidates for period-I periodic points (or fixed
points). The simplest one is A ' . First, vortex A moves A ' to B' and then
vortex B moves B' back to A ' . There are many other ones: For example,
the point A " corresponds to more than one rotation due to vortex A , to
position B", and then less than one rotation due to vortex B back to
position A". I t is clear that if (s*,

Figures 7.3.5(h)-(d) show the location of the period-l periodic points

by integers n , , 11, which are the number of complete rotations of right

Figure 7.3.9 shows the clear advantage of mixing in the globally chaotic
region when compared with regular flows. First, a circular blob made up
of a large number of points (9,500) is placed at a given location in the
flow. which is operated at p = 0.8 for 30 cycles. In this case the flow is
reglllar and the blob is stretched linearly. Second, we place the blob in
the same location as the previous experiment but we operate the flow at
= 1.0 for 24 cycles. In this case the blob has been stretched in thin
filaments which appear disconnected due to insufficient number of points,
precisionof the graphics output, etc. Note that the actual time of operation,
!(N. is the same in both cases. The drastic difference can be explained in
terms of the Poincare sections of Figure 7.3.3. In Figure 7.3.9(b) the blob
lies outside the 'globally chaotic' region. When p is increased the region
grows, the blob finds itself inside the chaotic region and the mixing is
effective.
However, placement of blobs in the chaotic region does not guarantee
effective dispersion for short times and in fact, blob experiments
provide some evidence for the degree of connectivity of manifolds
belonging to different points. Consider the manifolds associated with
the periodic points corresponding to the intersections of n, = 0 and n, = 0
(see Figure 7.3.5).19 Figure 7.3.10 (see color plates) shows the stable and
unstable manifolds for increasing values of p (the manifolds of the periodic
point at s < 0 are not drawn but they can be inferred by symmetry). For
low flow strength, p = 0.1, the manifolds of the central periodic point seem
to join smoothly, i.e., if there is homoclinic behavior it occurs below the
resolution of the graphics device. However, the homoclinic behavior of
the outer fixed point is apparent. At higher values of the flow strength,
P=0.3. the homoclinic behavior of the central periodic point becomes
apparent while that of the outer periodic point increases in scale. At
11=0.5 there are heteroclinic intersections. More detailed computations
Indicate that the transition to global chaos occurs for p x 0.36 when the
K A M surfaces separating the chaotic region around each vortex from the
rest of the flow are destroyed and the outer manifolds intersect with the
central ones forming heteroclinic points (see Figure 7.3.10(d)).
7.3.1 1 shows the obstruction to dispersion when the system
Operates at a value of 11 = 0.5, which is close to the bifurcation value (see

where C is the concentration of points in the pixel and the angular brackets

segregation (Danckwerts, 1952) we will use this name. Figure 7.3.12 shows
an example of such a computation where the value of the intensity of
segregation is plotted as a function of pN. Even though the results of the
computations are specific to the grid size used and the initial location of
the blob. in most cases studied there is a rapid decrease of the intensity
of segregation. I t is possible however, for the particles to be 'demixed' at
short times. The curve corresponding to 11 = 0.5, which shows an apparently
anonlalous behavior, can be explained in terms of the restrictions imposed
the degree of overlapping of man~folds.Recall that in this case during
the first stage of mixing the particles are dispersed in the region near the

within the chaotic region and give no indication of the mixing rate. Figure
7.4.5 (see color plates) shows a similar comparison to that of Figure 7.4.4.
In this case however, after the same number of periods, the blob invades
only a small part of the chaotic region. A more careful analysis of the
poincare sections reveals part of the reason. Initial conditions, identified
by color, 'do not mix' due to poor communication of manifolds of low
order hyperbolic points, even for a large number of periods (see Section
7.3). However, color-coding does not solve all the problems and Figure
7.4.6 (see color plates) shows an example where this is indeed the case. The
figure shows two Poincare sections, identical in all respects except that in
Figure 7.4.6(u) the angular displacement, O,,,,, is 165 , and in Figure
7.4.6(b) it is 166'. A naive interpretation of these results, especially after
the discussion on tendrils' and whorls of Section 6.1 1, might suggest that
the mixing structure in both systems should be very different since ( h )
should produce whorls within whorls whereas ( t r ) should produce just one
large whorl (not taking into account the smallest islands invisible in the
photographs). Furthermore, if this were the case the results would also
indicate that extreme care should be exercised in experimental work since
an error of 0.6% could determine the outcome of the result. However. a
deeper analysis reveals that this is not so and these variations are unlikely
to be of any consequence in the experiments. Indeed it can be shown that
the rate of rotation within the large island is nearly a solid body rotation
and 'whorls' are not noticeable even for a large number of iterations. The
rate of rotation in the smaller islands is even slower and for all practical
Purposes they can be ignored in the stretching of lines placed in this region.
In most cases the motion within the regular holes does not produce
significant stretching (see experiments on reversibility in Section 7.5). It
is apparent that a thorough understanding of this system requires a
detailed analysis of rate processes. A first step towards this goal is the
location of manifolds associated with the hyperbolic points of various
Orders. In order to accomplish this we first need to locate the periodic
Points of the system.
An important consequence of the symmetry of Poincare sections (Figure
's4.3) is that the search for periodic points is o n r c l i r ~ ~ n ~ r i orather

Periodic points up to order 8 for the case of a discontinuous velocity

' character
Of the points can be determined by examining the eigenvalues of the
linearized flow; the crosses represent hyperbolic points whereas the crl-clcs
represent elliptic points. Note that, as expected, the elliptic point5 kill
within the islands, and there is a heavy concentration of points near the
inner cylinder since the motion in the immediate neighborhood of the
cylinders has (nearly) circular streamlines and therefore, points of
orders are possible.
The rate of spreading of a passive tracer is controlled by the 1111\tnbl~
manifolds of the hyperbolic points and is roughly proportional to the
value of the eigenvalues and inversely proportional to the period of the
point. Figure 7.4.8(u) shows part of the manifolds associated with perrod-I
points after five periods of the flow. Figure 7.4.8(h) shows the manrfolds
associated with four period-4 hyperbolic points and sixteen periods. Note
that the spreading is significantly less and that the period-l manifolds act
as a templurp for the structure of the system. A blob placed in the
neighborhood of the point is 'captured' by the low-period manifolds.
Indeed, Figure 7.4.5(h)(see color plates) can be regarded as an experimental
manifestation of this effect.
All the previous results, including those of the examples of Sections 7.2
and 7.4, were for the case of a discontinuous velocity history of the
boundaries. However, it might be argued that such a history is hard to
achieve under laboratory conditions and that smoother histories might
result in different phenomena; that is, the relevant question seems to be:
How different are the results if the histories are different'? Figure 7.4.9

The main result insofar as Poincare sections are concerned is that the
results are remarkably similar and that the most important aspect of the
flow prescription is the period rather than its shape40 (see comparison
in Figure 7.4.10, see color plates). Similar results hold for other systems
such as the blinking vortex of Section 7.3.
The previous discussion suggests that most of the stretching, and
therefore mixing, occurs in the neighborhood of the unstable manifolds
of low period points. In order to investigate the regions of significant
stretching we adopt the following procedure: We integrate the equation
with F(X, 0) = 1
DFIDt = ( V V ) ~F.
for various initial conditions X and compute the stretching of a vector
with initial orientation M as

~'igurcs7.5.4 show the result of placing a blob as initial condition when

,pcr.;~tionimproves the mixing (otherwise the blob would remain trapped
208
in the velocity field and that we cannot properly speak of small perturbations with respect to steady flow.
An important difference with the previous sections is that in this case
there is no analytical solution for the velocity field. However, computations
based on a discretization of the velocity field provide only a crude picture
of the flow (e.g., exact location of periodic points, manifolds) and we are
therefore left with experiments as the main investigative tool. Therefore,
the experimental observations are limited to macroscopic structures, such
as islands, produced by mixing, and the question is how d o these structures
behave under change of the governing parameter (in this case T ) . Also,
any phenomena which are relatively long term (asymptotic)are not directly
observable, unless they form structures which are more o r less clearly
delineated from the start. As we have seen in the previous section, the
objects which can be detected are those with macroscopic spatial extent
and low periods.
The comparison between analysis, computations, and actual experiments
is not trivial and is often misunderstood. In theory there are always three
ct~l
a cotnputer sitnultrted system, and an
systems; a t ~ ~ t r t h r n ~ t i t i system,
e.uperinlc~nta1system. However, it is naive to expect that all the information
extracted from experiments is easily obtainable from computations, and
ric8r w r s a . For example, asymptotic phenomena and sets with measure
zero are mathematical objects, and clearly a set with measure zero is not
observable by means of computations. The requirements for computational
observability are also different from those of experimental observability.
In general an object will be observable in computer experiments if it is
robust, i.e., relatively insensitive to round-off error, and if it occurs with
high probability, i.e., if its presence can be ascertained regardless of the
discretization choice (pixel size in the computer screen). O n the other
hand, an experimental system is fundamentally analog so that non-robust,
low probability events can be seen, though perhaps not easily repeated.35

Consider now a few experiments comparing the discontinuous and sin
histories (Equations 7.5.1 (a,b)). The comparisons reinforce the need for
careful experimental interpretation and point out some of the pitfalls of
improper and incomplete comparison. Figure 7.5.4 shows the state of the
system operating for various values of T under the prescription of Equation
7.5.I(a,b) (i.e. sin". The initial condition in all the experiments is a small
blob of t r a ~ e r . "In~ this case the system evolves from no holes to a rather
large hole for the highest value of T. Note that the large scale structures
of all cases are similar. By analogy with the previous section we might

and their moons (elliptic points) returning to their initial locations after the
periods characterizing the points.
wc have seen that the Smale horseshoe map involves the stretching
and folding of a blob onto itself. In the context of mixing in periodic
two-dimensional flows such a map has a clear physical significance: A
fine subdivision of the blob in the region initially occupied by the
blob. Obviously i t is desirable that the flow forms many horseshoes,
possibly interacting, in such a way that they influence a large region of
the flow. From the point of view of mixing it is desirable that they be of
low
(number of transformations needed to produce the horseshoe)
since we want to achieve mixing as quickly as possible, and also since the
domain of a high period horseshoe is usually small. The investigation of
horseshoes involves the superposition of forward and backward transformations with the initial location of the blob. The construction is similar
to thc one given in Sections 7.2 and 7.3. There are several properties
which must be verified in order to deduce the presence of a horseshoe
(Moser, 1973). All the conditions must be carefully examined. For
example, if the placement of the blob is not exact (and it actually never
is) the striations will be partially filled with the tracer. In such a case
the system might appear to violate some of the conditions (Chien, Rising,
and Ottino, 1986).
Chaos magnifies errors and one might wonder to what extent it is
possible to unscramble pictures such as those of Figures 7.5.4 and 7.5.5.
We anticipate that the configurations in Figures 7.5.2(~1)-(c),
which are
integrable, can be reversed within experimental error, and there have been
experiments showing that this is indeed possible in creeping flows (see
Bibliography, Chapter 2). However, we have already seen that this might
be impossible, even numerically, if the flow is chaotic (Section 7.3.4).
Figure 7.5.9 (see color plates) shows what happens to initial conditions
placed in the interior of an island and in a chaotic region (see Figure
7.S.4(tl)).Figure 7.5.9(h)shows the result of forward mappings and Figure
7.5.9((')shows the results of backward mappings. I t is apparent that the
line pl;lced in the hole undergoes relatively little stretching" and returns
its initial location. However, the line placed in the chaotic region
( ~ ' ~ ~ u m a bnear
l y a horseshoe) does not return to its initial location; every
'Irne the line passes by the horseshoe it is stretched exponentially and the
experimental errors are magnified. Apparently, two periods are enough
to

blinking vortex system is Aref (1984): the first treatment of the tendrilwhorl map is given in the paper by Khakhar, Rising, and Ottino (1986).
Preliminary results for both systems were given in various presentations:
The horseshoe construction of the tendril whorl system was given in
Rising and Ottino (1985, abstract only): several results regarding efficiency
of stretching were given in Khakhar and Ottino (1985, abstract only).
The material of Section 7.4, journal bearing flow, is based on the
presentation of Swanson and Ottino (1985, abstract only). A substantially
morecomplete presentation isgiveninSwansonandOttino( 1990).Thefirst
study of the journal bearing flow is the computational study of Aref
and Balachandar ( 1 986). Several nice experimental results are presented
by Chaiken cJt (11. (1986), however, most studies involve a very large
number of periods (order 10' and higher). Section 7.5, cavity flow, is
based on experimental results by Leong (Ph.D. thesis, University of
Massachusetts, Amherst); the original paper is by Chien, Rising, and
Ottino (1986). The relationship between analysis, computations, and
experiments is discussed by Ottino rt 01. (1988) in terms of the journal
bearing flow and the cavity flow. A related topic is dispersion in
Rayleigh Benard flows: even though there is a number of recent papers
in this area, the treatments of mixing are rather scarce (e.g., Solomon and
Gollub, 1988). A paper addressing mixing in the context of geophysics is
given in Hoffman and McKenrie (1985).

the twisting of the planes, and developing flows.

partitioned-pipe mixer; the particle jumps from streamsurface to streamsurface

they can not go backwards as in the system of Figure 8.3.3.
227
1t is clear from this procedure that though the particle path is continuous,
its derivatives are not, and this results in infinite stresses. However,
including the developing flows would significantly complicate the problem
(a flow involving smooth trajectories is analyzed in Section 8.3).
The flow in this case is periodic in axial distance rather than time (as for
example, all cases of Chapter 7), so that the most convenient choice for
the surfaces of section is the cross-sectional planes at the end of each
unit (consisting of two adjacent elements). Poincare maps are then
generated by recording every intersection of a trajectory with the surfaces
of section in a very long (ideally, infinitely long) mixer, and projecting all
the intersections onto a plane parallel to the surfaces. Every trajectory
intersects with each surface of section, and the Poincare map should
capture some of the mixing in the cross-sectional flow.
Quite conceivably, any set of cross-sectional planes separated from each
other by the length of a periodic unit could be used to generate a Poincare
section by this criterion. However, in all other cases it would not be
possible to exploit the symmetries of the mapping (which reduces the
computational effort by a factor of 8, Khakhar, Franjione, and Ottino,
1987).
Figure 8.2.5 shows the Poincare sections for the partitioned-pipe mixer
for various values of the mixing strength (1) = 2, 4, 8, 10). The velocity
field in the partitioned-pipe mixer is three-dimensional and it is important
to study the relation of the Poincare sections to the overall flow. We
visualize the three-dimensional flow by plotting Poincare sections at
intermediate lengths, which enables us to follow the progress of the KAM
curves through the mixer. In Figure 8.2.6 we have plotted these for /3 = 2,
for increasing values of the axial distance, z = 0.2,0.8, 1.4, 2.0 (notice the
asymmetry of intermediate Poincare sections). Each KAM curve then
the intersecton of a tube with a surface of section, so that the
tubes can be reconstructed by joining the KAM curves with their images
in neighboring Poincare sections by smooth surfaces (e.g., curve A in
Figure 8.2.6). The last figure in the series (8.2.6(d))gives the periodicity
various islands; apparently, the smaller islands have higher periods.
Notice also in Figure 8.2.6 that the cross-sectional area of the tubes is
"Ot constant. This results from changes in the average axial velocity in
the tube as it winds through the mixer; the total flow in the tube (average
velocity in the tube multiplied by the cross-sectional area of the tube),
232
234
Figure 8.2.7. Schematic view of invariant tubes winding through the mixer.
According to Figure 8.2.6(1/) the smaller islands have higher periods (note
that axial length scale is different from that of Figures 8.2.1 and 8.2.4). The
cross sectional area of the tubes is not constant.
238
In some sense, the exit age distribution gives an indication of the inhomogeneity of the cross-sectional mixing: fluid streams in some tubes emerge
faster than others, and there is no mixing between the streams in the
different tubes. This is confirmed by a contour plot of iso-exit times and
it is possible to identify the regions responsible for the two peaks. At higher
values of the mixing strength, /? = 8 (Figure 8.2.9(/?)), the second peak
disappears, in spite of the rather non-uniform cross-sectional mixing
reflected in the Poincare section and the contour plot of iso-exit times.
In this case, some particles of the peak belong to the regular island, others
to the 'chaotic' region outside. In factjhe lowest residence time corresponds

flow, (b) Poincare section for the partitioned-pipe mixer for counter-rotating

and is shifted towards higher residence times. The results here show
some of the limitations of exit age distributions for capturing the complex
structure of the mixing in continuous flows. It is clear that residence
time distributions alone are insufficient for an analysis of the mixing.
Let us examine now if the Poincari: sections arc able to capture the details
of the stretching produced in the flow (only a few details of the an~~lysis
are given here: for a more complete treatment the reader should consult
Khakhar, Franjione, and Ottino (1987)).The total length stretch (In i.),

work is necessary. I t is significant that even though the axial flow always
moves forward, the streaklines can 'go backward' since they can wander
into regions of low axial velocity, whereas other parts of the streaklines
can bulge forward. Figure 8.3.3(u) shows an instantaneous snapshot of a
lateral projection of a streakline injected in a chaotic region, as well as
a view from the end of the mixer. It is significant to notice that in the
*end view' the streaklines crosses itself at various points, and that these
streaklines would be the ones observed for a system with plug flow, or
equivalently the journal bearing flow (see also Example 8.5.1). Figure
8.3.3(b) shows a similar computation but now the streakline is injected
in a regular region. (The situation however is considerably more complex;
the 'regular regions' are not static but move in a time periodic fashion;
248
thus the dye injection apparatus can inject material in both regular and
chaotic regions depending upon the injection time.)
Various other diagnostic tests used for the partitioned-pipe mixer in t l l c
previous section are valid also for the EHAM. In particular, it is possihlc
to inject a dense grid of passive particles or vectors with various
orientations and to compute contours of constant age, stretching, efficicncv.
and so forth. Multiple peaks in the exit distribution are possible in t h i s
mixer. Figure 8.3.4 shows an instantaneous picture of the axial concentration distribution created by the injection of a square array of particles
at the entrance of the mixer (the concentration has been averaged with
respect to the cross section). I t thus appears that the peaks present in the
partitioned-pipe mixer are not due to any artificiality present in the miser
and that similar behavior is indeed possible in other systems. Contours of
constant stretch reveal that in this case, as opposed to the partitioned-pipe

middle of it. The same flow was studied by Ralph (1986) for Reynolds
up to 300 and a range of Strouhal numbers of
to 1.
As we have seen in previous examplcs (notably, Section 7.4) the
present only part of the picture insofar as mixing is concerned.
Nevertheless, a superficial analysis indicates that the flow will be able to
well since it consists of two interacting co-rotating vortices as the
blinking vortex flow (Section 7.3) and the cavity flows (Section 7.5). In a
rough sense we might interpret Sr as 1/p, if the circulation of the vortex
is taken to be UII.Also in the symmetric case we expect the mixing to be
rather poor since it is obvious that the centerline is an invariant surface
ofthe flow, and prevents interaction between the regions .u, > Oand .u, < 0.
As we have seen in previous examples, two-dimensional time-periodic
flows are far richer in structure than what might be revealed by a cursory
analysis and an in-depth analysis requires an entire arsenal of tools. It is
apparent that this flow contains periodic points and is capable of
homoclinic and heteroclinic behavior. However, an analysis on the level
of that presented for the TW and BV flows is tremendously complicated
and only a few aspects of the program of Table 7.1 can be completed.
Here we present the results of Sobey for macroscopic dispersion of tracer

The function F(w) is plotted in Figure 8.5.2. Since M(t,) represents the
distance between the perturbed manifolds, we expect that an extreme in
F(w) should maximize the 'extent of chaos'. In this particular case, the
optimal frequency, (11, appears to be in the neighborhood of 0.3. I t is
important to check whether or not such a prediction is substantiated by
Figure 8.4.5. Similar initial conditions as Figures 8.4.2-4, but in a channel with

the streaklines would be injected with respect to the fixed frame, but
c~mputationallyit is possible also to investigate injection in a frame moving
with the cat eyes (Figure 8.5.4). A comparison between the streaklines
and the corresponding Poincare section reveals that the streakline injected
within the chaotic region undergoes significant stretching and folding
whereas the streaklines injected within the 'cat eyes' and outside 'cat eyes'
undergo little stretching. Figure 8.5.5 shows the stable and unstable
manifolds associated with the hyperbolic points.
The streakline injected with respect to the fixed frame reveals also
significant stretching and folding (Figure 8.5.6). However, in this case, as
opposed to the Hama flow of Example 2.5.1, the streaklines serve as a
good indicator of the position of the vortices (there are none in the Hama
flow). It is important to notice that given the time-periodicity of the flow,
it is possible to simplify substantially the problem of streakline tracking

the form (X,)"(.Y,)~(.K,)'
with n = (1 + b + c, where u , b, c are integers or
zero (c = 0 for a two-dimensional flow).'' It is clear that the tensors Aijk,,,
are symmetric in all indices but the first one due to the fact that the order
of differentiation is immaterial. These tensors constitute the unknowns
and are to be found by forcing the series to satisfy the continuity and
Navier-Stokes equations as well as the boundary conditions of the
problem in question. The coefficients may have time dependence or not,
depending on whether the flow is steady or time varying (due to some
external perturbation).
The number of independent coefficients, N,, generated by an Nth order
expansion of a three-dimensional flow field is given by
262
Table 8.6.1

Similarly the number of independent relations generated by the NavicrStokes equations, EN,, is given by
A few tabulated values, taken from the work of Perry and Chong (1986)are
given in Table 8.6.1. An examination of Table 8.6.1 shows that, in general,
several boundary conditions should be specified in order to obtain the
numerical value of the remaining coefficients. For example, for n = 5 We
need a number of conditions to obtain the unspecified 42 - (15 + 6) = 11
coefficients. Boundary conditions such as no-slip at the wall and a
specification of the surface vorticity are commonly used and generate a
263
264
Since the vorticity changes sign at &.u, there are two separation point,,
We also specify the angle of separation and reattachment of the streamlines
O . The relationship between the angle at the point of separation, measurcd
in the clockwise direction from the .:all, and the derivatives of pressure
and vorticity evaluated at u2 = 0 x1 = f I (separation point), is given by
tan 0 = 3p(i(o,/?.~,)/(?p/?xl),
which specifies a relationship between the angle, the separation points,
and the gradient of pressure. However, these conditions are not sufficient
to specify all the coefficients. In order to close the equations the location
of a critical point (for example an elliptic point) also must be specified.
In this case we can specify the location of an elliptic point; the second
critical point (i.e.,the hyperbolic point in Figure 8.6.I ( u ) )arises as a result
of solving the problem with the boundary conditions as stated above.
Thus, in this problem, a fifth order expansion, the total number of
unknowns is 42, and according to Table 8.6.1, the number of independent
relations between coefficients provided by the Navier--Stokes equation is

is 15. Therefore the number of coefficients to be determined is 2 1 . I t can
be shown that for a two-dimensional flow the no-slip condition provides
2(N + 1 ) relations, the specification of the surface vorticity N relations,
and the angle relations and the location of the elliptic point (x;, x;), two
conditions each. For N = 5, this provides an additional 21 relations, from
which all coefficients can be determined."

8.7. Streamlines in an inviscid flow
As seen in Chapter 3, a steady isochoric flow of an inviscid fluid is governed
by
v x a) = V(\jj + p/p + \q )
and therefore + p/p + \q2 is constant over streamlines (and also pathlines
and streaklines). The simplest case corresponds to + p/p + \q2 uniform
over some region of space and this implies that the vorticity and velocity
are co-linear at every possible x, i.e.,
Furthermore, since V'O> = 0, we have
and the streamlines are constrained to belong to surfaces /?(x) = constant,
13
which act as a constant of the motion. However, if fi is uniform, i.e.,
Vj8 = 0, this requirement disappears and v(x) is not constrained to belong
to any surface. Arnold conjectured that such flows might have a complex
topology and Henon, in a short note (Henon, 1966), took on his suggestion
and examined the case
dxx/dt = A sin x 3 + cos x2
dx2/dt = sin x{ + A cos x3
dx3/dt = sin x2 + cos x{
for 0 < xt < 2, / = 1,2,3, which corresponds to the case = + 1. Note that
this is a steady flow and that the portrait of iso-vorticity (surfaces \w\ =
1/2
constant), iso-dissipation ((D: D ) = constant), helicity (o-v = constant),
etc. are all very simple looking and can be computed easily. The structure
of fixed points of the flow, however, and their associated manifolds can
be extremely complicated and a complete analysis is not attempted here.
Henon integrated the equations numerically and recorded the intersections
with the plane (0 < x < 2n, 0 < < 2n, z = 0, Poincare section).
Figure 8.7.1 shows Henon's results for the case A = 3 1 / 2 , = 2 1 / 2 , = 1.
The points joined by curves correspond to the same pathline (i.e., they
2 70
all originate from the same initial condition); all the isolated point,
originate also from one initial condition (this behavior was called
'semi-ergodic' by Henon). The behavior of A = B = C = I is similar except
that the 'semi-crgodic' region occupies more space.
The same flow was analyzed, in a more complete study, by Dombre cJt (11.
(1986). I t is easy to check that the velocity field has eight fixed points
corresponding to
- C sin u 2 = B cos s, =

The condition that x,, .uz, and .u,, be real is that a triangle be formed
with sides A ' , B 2 , and C ' . The condition dxldt = 0 implies o = 0 and
therefore at the fixed point Vv is symmetric (since Q = 0 ) . I t follows that
the eigenvalues of Vv are real and the flow is hyperbolic (the sum of thc
eigenvalues is zero since V . v = 0 ) . Furthermore they are all different except

Most of the work reported in this chapter is currently in progress and
the presentation should be regarded as a sketch of the current state of
the field and as an outline of possibilities. Some of the original material
on the partitioned-pipe mixer appeared in the Ph.D. thesis by Khakhar
(1986). A more thorough presentation appears in Khakhar, Franjione,
and Ottino (1987). T h e work is continued and considerably extended
in the Ph.D. thesis of Franjione. The treatment of Section 8.4 follows
closely the presentation by Franjione and Ottino (1987, abstract only).
The material in Section 8.4 follows entirely the article by Sobey (1985).
Additional material can be found in Ralph (1986). The treatment of
the Kelvin cat eyes flows (Section 8.5) is based on the Ph.D. thesis
of Danielson. The treatment of flows near walls is based on the work
by Perry et al. (see references in Section 8.6) and recent work by DanielSon. T h e material in Section 8.7 is based on the short article by Henon

purely passive case, the active case is considered in Section 9.3
Within the framework of the motions described so far, x = @,(X),2nd
in particular all the flows of Chapters 7 and 8, initially designated material
volumes remain connected, i.e., topological features are conserved and
cuts of partially mixed materials reveal a lamellar structure. The striation
thickness, s, serves as a measure of the mechanical mixing3 (see Figure
1.1.1). We wish to preserve a similar structure for the case of diffusing
fluids in such a way that a properly defined striation thickness can he
thought to act as the underlying fabric on which the transport processvs
and reactions occur. We define a tracer as a hypothetical non-reactive
material m that moves everywhere with the mean mass velocity v = (p, I,)",
(see Section 2.3). Thus, if to, represents the mass fraction of the traccr
(to, = p,/p) we have
Dtu,/Dt = 0.
Under these conditions, material surfaces of the tracer remain connected
and map the average mass motion of the flow.
The patterns produced by the tracer are similar to those shown in the
examples of Chapters 1,7, and 8: tendrils, whorls, and primarily, stretched
and folded structures. Diffusive species traverse the hypothetical surfaces
of the tracer, concurrent with stretching and folding of the tracer surfaccs,
which is governed by the equations of Chapter 3. The entire process is
governed by the convective-diffusion equation

The usual initial conditions correspond to complete segregation of the
streams: the physical situation might correspond to streams being fed to
the reactor (in this case the interface is a streaksurface) or two segregated

Consider now the value of the initial striation thickness, so. In
establishing this value we face two competing effects: We might argue
that if so is too large, and curvature effects are important, the lamellar
structure assumption is probably not quite valid and consequently the
model a poor approximation. O n the other hand, if we wait longer and
select a smaller so, we might miss some of the diffusion-reaction process
and not be able to estimate the initial conditions. However, if so is large,
as for example during the first stages of mixing in a shear flow (see for
example, the Hama flow of Example 2.5.1 ), the interfaces are essentially
non-interacting and therefore it really does not matter that the lamellar
structure has not been established.

It is evident that the presence of at least three major time scales produces
two dimensionless ratios (Damkohler numbers) which characterize the

Note that the characterization of a reaction as fast or slow depends, in
gneral, on t,, t,, and t, (see Figure 9.1.3).

Slow reactions
A reaction is called 'slow' if t,/tR << 1 during the course of the reaction,
except possibly during the first stages of mixing (this is a conservative
criterion since t,,, is defined with respect to the initial segregation - the
loosely defined so). Actually, the diffusion time-scale varies in time, since
the striation thickness is decreasing in time. Consider a simple example
corresponding to exponential thinning. Initially, the diffusional time-scale,
t , = s ( t ) ' / ~ ,might be larger than the reaction time-scale, i.e., s(O)'/D > t,,
but after some time, we might achieve t, z t,, since s(t) decays as
s(0) exp(-xt), and quite rapidly afterwards we might be in a regime such
that t, << t,. From this time onwards, intrinsic kinetics controls and local
mixing has no influence on the course of the reaction. Under these
conditions the mass balance for species-s reduces to:
dC,7/dt= /j,,R,.

This limit corresponds to residence time theory (see Chapter 1).

indicate that. for simple reactions, this definition of t, gives a reasonable

Example 9.2.3
As we have seen in Section 9.1.3, the accurate computation of material
interfaces is important in problems involving fast reactions producing t h i n
reaction zones. The problem also has relevance to computations such 2 s
those described above and the direct computations given below. Order
of magnitude calculations indicate formidable problems due to stori~gc
requirements. Computationally, the material interface is composed of a
large number of points connected by small linear segments. However, duc
to the flow the interface stretches and folds, and if the distance between
points becomes too large, the linear segments connecting adjacent polnts
could cross, which is physically inadmissible. In order to maintain
consistent resolution, the numbel of particles should be increased in such
a way as to be able to resolve the striation thickness accurately. Obviously,
such a calculation is a precondition for the resolution of the concentration

complicated situations, corresponds to a two-dimensional (deterministic,
time-periodic) mapping in a 'globally chaotic' regime where the length of
a line increases, on the average, as Lo exp(crk),where k refers to the number
of mappings and a is a suitable Liapunov exponent (in the case of
integration of the Eulerian velocity field, we have estimated that tllc
number of operations for each dimension, F, is of the order 10 to 100,
and that each period requires 10' time steps with t of order 3). An estimate
of the number of floating point operations per mapping, taking into account
the loss of precision due to growth of errors, for an accuracy of O.OI'!;,.
yields the results shown in Table 9.2 (Franjione and Ottino, 1987b). I t
should be noted that the bulk of the computational effort is not due
to growth of errors. For example for the case of a striation reduction
of
relaxing the accuracy to 1% and 5 % , reduces the storage
requirements by only 1.5 and 2 Gigabytes respectively.

The article by Riley et ul. (1986) presents one of the most complete. They
considered a binary chemical reaction with no heat release (i.e., the
reaction does not alter the fluid mechanics) in a temporully growing mixing
layer, which is simpler to analyze, and contains some of the same physics
as a spatiully developing mixing layer (i.e., their geometry is similar to that
in Figure E9.2.2(u)). The initial condition was also qualitatively similar to
that of Corcos and Sherman (1984). Riley, Metcalfe, and Orzag (1986)
used a pseudo spectral method using 323 and 643 grids; typical runs
involved between 500 and I000 time steps and consumed one to two hours
of Cray 1 computer time. The Schmidt number was kept of order one so
that the resolution requirements for both velocity and concentration were
roughly the same, the Reynolds number based on the Taylor microscale
was approximately 50, and the diffusivities of all species equal. Figure
E9.2.2(c) shows snapshots of iso-vorticity plots and iso-concentration
contours, the iso-concentration contours being simpler and more lamellarlike (compare with the cat eyes flow). Note that the limit of resolution is
set by the computational grid. Striations created below this scale will be
averaged out and the lamellar structure, if present, will be lost. If the
reactions are slow the loss of resolution is not serious. However, depending
on time-scales, the reaction might be diffusion controlled at these length
scales and in this case the resolution problems become serious (see previous
example). Similar treatments have included compressibility, for low Mach
numbers, and also heat release (McMurtry et al., 1986).
Problem 9.2.2
A possible way of connecting the results for microflow elements with
Eulerian measurements is by computing the spectrum of concentration of
a product or a passive scalar. Lundgren (1985) used an axisymmetric

found that there could be several possible steady-state solutions for the
drop shape. but based on physical grounds he selected the one in which
the drop was stretched the least as the only realistic solution (this was
also the solution found by Taylor (1964)). Several years later. Acrivos
and Lo (1978) obtained the same conclusion by means of a stability
analysis. Hinch and Acrivos (1980) studied the case of a hyperbolic
two-dimensional flow as perturbation of the axisymmetric case. They
found that even though the cross-section was not circular, the area in the
axisymmetric and two-dimensional cascs were approximately the same
(Cu, = 0 . 1 4 5 p 1 "). Thus, it appears that only the area and not the shape
is important in the breakup process and suggests the possibility of using
the approximation of circular cross-sectional area for other flows.
The analysis corresponding to simple shcar flow is substantially more
complicated than the case of axisymmetric flow. Hinch and Acrivos (1980)
sti~diedthe case in which the d r o p is almost sligned with the streamlines
in a shear flow by assuming that the d r o p cross section remains circular
due to the slenderness. They found that the d r o p axis bends slightly and
that the elongated droplet attains a sigmoidal shape. but that the deviation
from a straight line was small for most cases of interest. A steady-state
analysis of the d r o p shape indicated that steady shapes were possible for
all values of Crr. However, a time dependent simulation indicated that the
drops were unstable beyond Crr, = 0 . 0 5 4 1 p 2 ". In numerical calculations
involvingjump in the strain rate they found that drops 'broke' (interpreted
as failure of the numerical scheme) at the lower strain rate.'"
Extensions of these analyses yield models which can be incorporated in
the context of the flows of Chapters 7 and 8. For example, for the case
p << 1 and Ca >> I , the dynamics of a nearly axisymmetric drop with pointed
ends, characterized by a n orientation m ( m = 1 ) and a length I(t), is given
by (Khakhar and Ottino, 1 9 8 6 ~ )

A very long drop, (I(t)/u)+ r,, G I , rotates and stretches as a passive

effect of the outer flow. Note also that since G > 1 the droplet 'feels' a

stretching can modify the surrounding flow: in turbulence the smullc\r
eddies might be suppressed; in porous media the hydrodynamic interactionh
might result in non-Newtonian effects.
Even though considerable experimental and theoretical work has bccn
done in both areas, the suggestion here is that microstructures in chaotic
flows might have a bearing o n these kinds of problems. However. since
o u r primary focus is o n a few c o m m o n aspects of both problems, our
review of the literature is rather superficial." A review of experimental

There should be n o question that such flows contain some of the r e l e ~ a n ~

Bibliography
The content of this chapter is more indicative of future possibilities than
of the current state of the art. The common thread is the role played by
local and global flows on diffusion and reaction processes and in stretching,
breakup, and aggregation processes. For example, the fluid mechanical
path is not very important in conversion and selectivity of simple reactions
but appears to be very important in complex reactions such as polymerizations; small variations in the coefficients of a dynamical equation appear
to determine whether a microstructure breaks or not.
There is a substantial amount of literature on the foundations of both
topics and the review presented here is a rather biased account suited to our
needs. The sections on diffusion and reaction rely on transport across
stretching interfaces. The main ideas and a brief historical review can be
found in Ottino (1982). The importance of stretching of material surfaces
is addressed in many works; one of the earliest is Batchelor (1952) and
various other articles referred to in the chapter. In the context of chemical
engineering, the idea of a local flow was used by Fisher (1968) and by
Chan and Scriven (1970); in mechanical engineering, the idea has been
used in the context of combustion, e.g., Spalding (1978a). The transformations of Section 9.1 can be found in Ranz (1979); Ottino (1982);
and Chella and Ottino (1984) (many of the examples are taken from this
work). The basic ideas of the lamellar viewpoint are discussed by Ranz
('1985).
The review of stretching and breakup does not d o justice to the
state of the art and the reader should consult the reviews by Rallison
(1984); and Acrivos (1983). The most complete summary of experimental
work is given by Grace (1982). Probably the most complete experimental
studies are those from Leal et al. A partial listing includes Bentley and
Leal (1986a); and Stone, Bentley, and Leal (1986). Complete details are
given by Bentley (1985).

19 An extreme case is given by polymerizations; see Ex;imple 9.2.1. It is possible also
to imagine situations where imperfect mixing can lead to 'thermal exlosions' due
to imbalance between heat generation and dissipation due to thermal conduction. The
presence ofa thermal explosion depends strongly upon the Lewis number (Ottino, 1982).

23 The tensor L(X. t ) plays the same role as thestretching function, r(X, 1 ) in Section 9.1.
24 This formulation is largely due to Taylor (see Chapter I ).
25 As indicated in our presentation in Chapter I . Taylor (1934) invented the two basic
experimental configurations; to mimic a two-dimensional hyperbolic flow hc invented
the four-roller apparatus, to mimic shear flows he constructed a parallel flow apparatus.
26 A few references discussing various aspects of experimental results. prior to the work
of Bentley (1985). are the following: Rumscheidt and Mason (1961). repeated some
of the same experiments of Taylor (1934); their rcsults matched the theory for small
deformations. Karam and Bellingr (1968). carried out experiments in simple shear
flow using a Couette apparatus over a relatively wide range of p and obtained a
graph of Cu, versus p which had a minimum for p in the range 0.2 to I. They also
reported a viscosity ratio of p s 4 beyond which breakup was not possible in shear
flow. A few years later an exhaustive experimental study was reported by Grace
(1971, published 1982). In the first half of his paper Grace concentrated on shear
and hyperbolic flows (as Taylor had done), but on a much wider range of viscosity
ratios ( I O - q o 950). whereas in the second half of the paper he concentrated on
the applicability ofthe results to static mixers. In addition to Cu,, the time for breakup
and the length and deformation at breakup were also recorded. He also investigatcd
the breakup under conditions of super-critical strain (Ctr > Cu,). Grace also found
a maximum viscosity ratio, slightly lower than Karam and Bellinger's, p s 3.5, beyond
which drops could not be broken in shear flow. At low viscosity ratios he found
Ca, s p-n.s"or simple shear flow and Ca, s p O . l hfor two-dimensional extensional
flow. For drops of higher viscosity ratio, the data are more sparse and indicate an
increase of Ca, with p . There have been relatively few studies focusing on the effect
of the history of the imposed flow and the dynamics of the drop. One early study
is by Torza, Cox, and Mason (1972). They found that the rate of increase
of the strain rate (dS/(/t) had a significant impact on breakup. Though data are only
reported for relatively low values ofdS/dr. they found that the critical strain rate
was a function ofdS/dt, especially at high dS/dt.
27 See Bentley and Leal ( 1986a)for details of the apparatus and Bentley and Leal ( 1986b)
for experimental results.
28 It is significant that the breakup mechanism wus rtor due to capillary wave instabilities
as studied by various researchers (e.g., Mikami, Cox, and Mason, 1975; Khakhar
and Ottino, 1987). A long thread is not equivalent to an infinite cylinder and end
effects cannot be neglected under most conditions of interest. Obviously, a significant
difference between an infinite and a linite cylinder is that an infinite thread is an
equilibrium shape whereas a finite cylinder is not; in the case of an infinite cylinder
the only question is whether o r not it is stable (Stone and Leal, 1989). However,
if drops are significantly stretched, Na>>l@, as they are in chaotic flows,
the prevalent mode of breakup is by capillary waves.

20 Other results for time dependent flows indicate the severity of the flu~dmechanic;~l
path. For example. Khakhnr and Ottino (1987) considered the number of f r a g n i c n ~ ~
N produced ny bursting of an ittlittirc, thread by means of a model based o ~ gi r o ~ l h
of capillary w;~vcs.The flow field around the thread was taken to be
I., = - :E(I)~.
I.: = 1(1)I.
Two cases were compared; one with constant 1. the other with l ( r ) = S/( l + Sr ) where
S is a constant. The number of fragments goes as Cii2~"forconstant 1 and as Cii'
for the u s e 1(r)= S, ( I + SI ) (where Crr is the capillary number. Cii = ~r,Sil.o. and
il the initial diameter of the thread). This implies that under identical conditions
n flow with dccaying efficiency will produce significantly fewer fragments than onc
with constant elliciency. These results appear to have interesting implications in thc
context ofexperimental studiesof breakup in chaotic flows,such as those ofsections 7.4
and 7.5. Although the experiments are just at the beginning and it is early to draw
lirm conclusions, it does appear that there is significantly more stretching and
breakup within the chaotic regions as compared with the regular regions, where thc
elliciency of the flow is poor.
30 Choices corresponding to two-dimensional extensional flow and simple shear flow
are given by Khakhar and Ottino (1986b).
31 This simple picture implicitly considers the possibility of drag reduction withour
any wall eNects. Such a viewpoint was advocated by de Gennes (1986).
32 Fornn introduction to the literatureofdrag reduction see Lumley (1973). Virk (1975).
Rerman (1978). and many of the articles in Vol. 24(5). J . 1!/' Rhrology. 1980.
33 Recent studies involving experiments in the journal bearing flow of Section 7.4 show
that droplets in chaotic regions can stretch by several orders of magnitude and break
primarily by capillary wave instabilities whereas drops placed in large islands, such
as those of Figure 7.4.5(a), hardly deform at all (Tjahjadi, 1989).
34 Recent theoretical analyses and computations involving fast bimolecular reactions
( A B- P) in systems with initially distributed striations of the reactants - such as
Figure E9.2.1- have shown scaling behavior. Owing to the unevenness in the striation
distribution the reaction planes move and the average striation thickness increases
in time. The remarkable result is that, regardless of the initial distribution, the system
evolves in such a way as to produce a self-similar time-dependent striation thickness
distribution (F. J . Muzzio and J . M. Ottino, 'Evolution of a lamellar system with
diffusion and reaction: a scaling approach', Phys. Rev. Lerr., 63,47-50, 1989).

Chyley-Humilton theorem (without proof)
Any tensor T satisfies its own characteristic equation, i.e.,

Notes
1 Excellent references for this material in the context of continuum mechanics and fluid
mechanics, respectively. are Chadwick (1976)and Aris (1962).Portions of this appendix
are based on the appendix of Coleman, Markovitz, and Noll (1966).
2 As we shall see this definition includes both 'vectors' and 'tensors'.
3 Unless explicitly stated we use Einstein's summation convention: rcpcatcd indices are
summed from 1 to 3, i.e.. riei = riel + r,e, + r3e3.For example. q j r j r imeans the
double sum 11 Tijrjriwith both indims running from I to 3.
4 This applies to components of vectors and tensors. Throughout this work, unless
explicitly stated otherwise, we will deal with orthonormal bases.
5 As is usual in fluid mechanics we do not distinguish between column and row
vectors to simplify the notation; also, the distinction it is always clear by the
context of the operation.
