The Mathematical Foundations fo Mixing: - The Linked Twist Map as a Paradigm in Applications

Informationen zum Autor Rob Sturnan gained his PhD from University College London in 2000. He is currently carrying out research on mixing in microfluidics at the University of Bristol. Klappentext A unifying framework for understanding many types of fluid mixing, for researchers. Zusammenfassung Linked Twist Maps can provide a unifying framework for understanding many types of fluid mixing! ranging from the very small to the very large! from fluids to solids. The authors discuss the definition and construction of LTMs! provide examples of specific mixers! and present a number of open problems. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface; 1. Mixing: physical issues; 2.
