Abstract

The physical picture of the acceleration due to the random advection is that it stretches domains populated by one chemical into thin sheets, so that the chemical reaction driven by diffusion proceeds more efficiently because of an essential increase of the interface area. This paper explains how this general physical picture formulated initially for unbounded flows applies to chaotic flows confined to a finite geometry.
