To understand this lecture you need to know
• Some fluid dynamics• Some Hamiltonian dynamics• Something about phase space• Poincare sections• Need > 2D phase space to get chaos • Symmetry can reduce the dimensionality of phase
space• Some knowledge of diffusion• A “friendly” applied mathematician !!

Some Possible Flows
Taylor vortices
Twisted vortices
Wavy vortices
Spiral vortices
Taylor Vortex Flow
TVF --
– Centrifugal instability of circular Couette flow.
– Periodic cellular structure.
– Three-dimensional, rotationally symmetric:
u = u(r,z)
Flat inflow and outflow boundaries are barriers to inter-vortex transport.

The Leaky Transport BarrierWavy vortex flow is a deformation of rotationally symmetric Taylor vortex flow.
Dividing stream surface breaks up => particles can migrate from vortex to vortex

Flow is steady in co-moving frame
Methods
• Solve Navier-Stokes equations numerically to obtain wavy vortex flow.
• Finite differences (MAC method);
• Pseudo-spectral (P.S. Marcus)
2. Integrate particle path equations (20,000 particles) in a frame rotating with the wave (4th order Runge-Kutta).

Theoretical Fact
A three dimensional phase space is necessary for chaotic trajectories.
The Idea (Mezic):
Deviation from certain continuous symmetries can be used to measure the local deviation from 2D
For Wavy Vortex Flow
rotational symmetry
and dynamical symmetry :
• If either is zero, then flow is locally integrable, so as a diagnostic we consider the product

Summary
• Dz is highly correlated with <><>
• The correlation is not perfect.
• The symmetry arguments are general
• Yannacopoulos et al (Phys Fluids 14 2002) show that Melnikov function,
