4 Topological chaos Complexity is built in the flow due to the topology of the boundary motions R N : 2D fluid region with N stirring rods stirrers move on periodic orbits stirrers = solid objects or fluid particles stirring with solid rods: stirring with point vortices: stirring with ghost rods : Boyland, Aref & Stremler (2000) J. Fluid Mech. Finn, Cox & Byrne (2003) J. Fluid Mech. Boyland, Stremler & Aref (2003) Physica D Gouillart, Thiffeault & Finn (2006) Phys. Rev. E

5 Topological chaos Complexity is built in the flow due to the topology of the boundary motions R N : 2D fluid region with N stirring rods stirrers move on periodic orbits stirrers = solid objects or fluid particles t stirrer motions generate a mapping f : R N R N (a diffeomorphism) stirrer trajectories generate braids in 2+1 dimensional space-time

7 the actual fluid motion Thurston-Nielsen Theory Thurston (1988) Bull. Am. Math. Soc. Casson & Bleiler (1988) Automorphisms... A stirrer motion f is isotopic to a stirrer motion g of one of three types: (i) finite order (f.o.): (ii) pseudo-anosov (pa): the nth iterate of g is the identity g has... an ideal motion: the TN representative dense orbits, Markov partition with transition matrix A λ > 1 : expansion or dilation = PF eigenvalue of A entropy equal to the topological entropy h top (g) = log(λ) (iii) reducible: g contains both f.o. and pa regions

8 Fixed stirrer motions: Isotopy all fluid motions with stirrers fixed in space, with rotations allowed Isotopy to the identity: a stirrer motion h is isotopic to the identity if the same result could have been obtained by a fixed stirrer motion for 0 or 1 stirrer, all motions are isotopic to the identity for 2 stirrers, all motions (or 2nd iterate) are isotopic to the identity Isotopic motions: motions f and g are isotopic if g = h f, with h isotopic to the identity Handel s isotopy stability theorem: the complex dynamics of the pa map remains under isotopy log(λ) provides a lower bound on the topological entropy

9 Braids on 3 strands or Stirring with 3 rods Finite Order: σ 1 σ 2 time σ 1 σ 2 fix the rods and unwind the outer boundary no lower bound for stretching in the flow pseudo Anosov: time σ 1 1 σ 2 σ 1 1 σ 2 complexity cannot be removed with rods fixed λ = 1 2 (3 + 5) every topologically non-trivial curve grows in length like λ n under iteration
