Abstract
The onset of chaos in passive advection of particles by flow caused by a pulsed source–sink system is documented. This type of model is of interest in various applications. It is of fundamental interest as the first example of a flow without circulation about any contour at any instant displaying chaotic particle paths. Standard chaos diagnostics such as Poincaré sections and Lyapunov exponents are studied as are more conventional flow visualization measures such as streaklines. Numerical stirring experiments for various collections of particles are performed and the properties of a certain one‐dimensional map induced by the two‐dimensional flow are examined.Keywords
