Chaotic advection and relative dispersion in an experimental convective flow

Abstract: Lagrangian chaos is experimentally investigated in a convective flow by means of Particle Tracking Velocimetry. The Finite Size Lyapunov Exponent analysis is applied to quantify dispersion properties at different scales. In the range of parameters of the experiment, Lagrangian motion is found to be chaotic. Moreover, the Lyapunov depends on the Rayleigh number as Ra^(1/2). A simple dimensional argument for explaining the observed power law scaling is proposed.
