Abstract

A typical mechanism of the chaotic mixing of a passive impurity was theoretically and numerically elucidated using an elementary model of interaction between a point vortex and a periodic plane flow. The chaotic transfer and mixing, appearing as a result of the transversal intersection of stable and unstable manifolds of a hyperbolic stationary point, may lead to far-reaching consequences in geophysical flows.
