Is Chaotic Advection Inherent to Heterogeneous Darcy Flow?

Daniel R. Lester, Michael G. Trefry, Guy Metcalfe +1

At all scales, porous materials stir interstitial fluids as they are advected, leading to complex distributions of matter and energy. Of particular interest is whether porous media…

Linking Dispersion and Stirring in Randomly Braiding Flows

Daniel R. Lester, Michael G. Trefry, Guy Metcalfe

Many random flows, including 2D unsteady and stagnation-free 3D steady flows, exhibit non-trivial braiding of pathlines as they evolve in time or space. We show that these random f…

Lagrangian complexity persists with multimodal flow forcing in poroelastic systems

Michael Trefry, Daniel Lester, Guy Metcalfe +1

We extend previous analyses of the origins of complex transport dynamics in poroelastic media to the case where the input transient signal at a boundary is generated by a multimoda…

Global Organization of Three-Dimensional, Volume-Preserving Flows: Constraints, Degenerate Points, and Lagrangian Structure

Bharath Ravu, Guy Metcalfe, Murray Rudman +2

Global organization of 3-dimensional (3D) Lagrangian chaotic transport is difficult to infer without extensive computation. For 3D time-periodic flows with one invariant we show ho…

When Do Complex Transport Dynamics Arise in Natural Groundwater Systems?

J. Wu, D. R. Lester, M. G. Trefry +1

In a recent paper (Trefry et al., 2019) we showed that the interplay of aquifer heterogeneity and poroelasticity can produce complex transport in tidally forced aquifers, with sign…

Lagrangian transport and chaotic advection in three-dimensional laminar flows

Michel Speetjens, Guy Metcalfe, Murray Rudman

Transport and mixing of scalar quantities in fluid flows is ubiquitous in industry and Nature. Turbulent flows promote efficient transport and mixing by their inherent randomness.…
