SUMMARY:Topological approaches to problems of stirring and mixing - Thiffe
 ault\, J-L (University of Wisconsin-Madison)

DESCRIPTION:I will review two topological approaches to stirring and mixin
 g.  The first involves constructing systems such that the fluid motion is 
 topologically complex\, usually by imposing a specific motion of rods.  I 
 will discuss optimization strategies that can be implemented.  The second 
 is diagnostic\, where flow characteristics are deduced from observations o
 f periodic or random orbits and their topological properties.\n
