Competition between chaotic advection and diffusion: stirring and mixing in a 3-D eddy model
<p>The importance of chaotic advection relative to turbulent diffusion is investigated in an idealized model of a 3-D swirling and overturning ocean eddy. Various measures of stirring and mixing are examined in order to determine when and where chaotic advection is relevant. Turbulent diffusio...
