Passive scalar mixing in chaotic flows with boundaries

We are interested in examining the long-time decay rate of a passive scalar in two-dimensional flows. The focus is on the effect of boundary conditions for kinematically prescribed velocity fields with random or periodic time dependence. Scalar evolution is followed numerically in a periodic geometr...
