Abstract: Two examples for the interplay between chaotic dynamics and stochastic forces within hydrodynamical systems are considered. The first case concerns the relaxation to equilibrium of a concentration field subject to both chaotic advection and molecular diffusion. The concentration field develops filamentary structures and the decay rate depends non-monotonically on the diffusion strength. The second example concerns polymers, modelled as particles with an internal degree of freedom, in a chaotic flow. The length distribution of the polymers turns out to follow a power law with an exponent that depends on the difference between Lyapunov exponent and internal relaxation rate.
