coefficients and by changing the fluid velocity we study the dependence of a characteristic
mixing length on the Peclet number, Pe, which controls the mixing efficiency. The mixing
length is found to be related to Pe by a power law, L mix∝ Pe 0.26±0.01, and increases
faster than expected for an unbounded chaotic flow. The role of the boundaries in the mixing
length abnormal growth is clarified. The experimental findings are in good quantitative …
