Download or read book Chaotic Flows written by Oleg G. Bakunin and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-08-29 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book introduces readers to and summarizes the current ideas and theories about the basic mechanisms for transport in chaotic flows. Typically no single paradigmatic approach exists as this topic is relevant for fields as diverse as plasma physics, geophysical flows and various branches of engineering. Accordingly, the dispersion of matter in chaotic or turbulent flows is analyzed from different perspectives. Partly based on lecture courses given by the author, this book addresses both graduate students and researchers in search of a high-level but approachable and broad introduction to the topic.
