Persistent structures in a three-dimensional dynamical system with flowing and non-flowing regions

Understanding mixing in yield stress materials, such as paint and sand, is complicated due to the coexistence of solid-like and fluid-like regimes. Zaman et al. examine mixing in a granular material in three dimensions and find persistent complex non-mixing structures within the chaotic flowing regi...
