Chaos in Pulsed Laminar Flow
… system with no lower order fixed points, almost invariant sets are natural objects on which to apply the TNCT. In addition, a method is presented to compute line stretching by tracking appropriate motion of finite size rods. This method accounts for the effect of the rod size in computing …

Finding and exploiting structure in complex systems via geometric and statistical methods
… the structure can be revealed by the study of invariant manifolds of fixed points and periodic orbits in the first system, there do not exist any fixed points (and hence invariant manifolds) in the second system. The use of statistical (or measure theoretic) and topological methods reveals the …

Study of the dynamics of transport and mixing using set oriented methods
… on h<sub>f</sub> using the braids formed by Almost Cyclic Sets (ACS) in certain periodic Stokes' flows. These ACS are closely related to Almost Invariant Sets (AIS) which are identified using a probabilistic set oriented method that makes use of the descritised Perron-Frobenius operator of …

Topological chaos and chaotic mixing of viscous flows
… in the flow, invariance or leakiness of the Almost Invariant Sets (AIS) playing the role of ghost rods is found to be in a direct relationship with the rate of homogenization of a scalar. The mixing caused by these AIS and the variations of their structure are explained from the point of view …
