Abstract
The evolution of material lines and surfaces is important in mixing involving fast reactions between fluids. It is shown that direct numerical tracking of the interface presents formidable computational problems in even the simplest chaotic flows because of storage requirements. The results indicate the need for a building block approach for the analysis of mixing problems involving chaotic flows.Keywords
