The topology of stirred fluids (Q1371942): Difference between revisions

The authors present a model of the flow of two fluids in a region in the plane. Fluid is continually entering and leaving the region and there is assumed to be no diffusion of fluids. The fluid is alternately squeezed and rotated, either in a periodic manner or in a random sequence. It is shown that in many cases the boundary between the fluids is an indecomposable continuum.
