The book introduces readers to and summarizes the current ideas and theories about the basic mechanisms for transport in chaotic flows. Typically no single paradigmatic approach exists as this topic is relevant for fields as diverse as plasma physics, geophysical flows and various branches of engineering. Accordingly, the dispersion of matter in chaotic or turbulent flows is analyzed from different perspectives. Partly based on lecture courses given by the author, this book addresses both graduate students and researchers in search of a high-level but approachable and broad introduction to the topic.
Reviews

From the reviews:

"The main purpose is to provide a short review of the various ideas and theories which are presently in use to investigate the basic mechanisms of transport phenomena in chaotic flows. ... The book is a physics book and you can fruitfully read it even if you have only an advanced course of calculus." (Guy Jumarie, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1232, 2012)
