Chaotic mixing

In chaos theory and fluid dynamics, chaotic mixing is a processby which flow tracers develop into complex fractals under the actionof a fluid flow.The flow is characterized by an exponential growth of fluid filaments.Even very simple flows, such as the blinking vortex,or finitely resolved wind fields can generate exceptionally complexpatterns from initially simple tracer fields.
