Transition to turbulence and mixing in a quasi-two-dimensional Lorentz force-driven Kolmogorov flow

The research in this thesis was motivated by a desire to understand the mixing properties of quasi-two-dimensional flows whose time-dependence arises naturally as a result of fluid-dynamic instabilities. Additionally, we wished to study how flows such as these transition from the laminar into the tu...
