wondered why life can be so chaotic? Then this site is for you! Step inside, and take a look at the wonders of Chaos Theory and Groundwater Remediation!! Groundwater is everywhere, whether you like it or not, and so is Chaos Theory. From the placid drip of the faucet to the cacophany of the Stock Market, Chaos has its applications almost anywhere you can imagine.
Chaos is more than just pretty fractals, such as the famous Mandelbrot set or numerous other computer-generated fractals.
Of the many applications of Chaos, one of the most well-known is chaotic advection, or to put it simply, chaotic mixing. A growing problem today is the continued contamination of groundwater resources, whether by human or natural means. Chaotic advection applications offer new perspectives on how to enhance groundwater remediation faster, more efficiently, and more economically.

Watch
In your presentation and on this wiki site, you say that laminar flow moves too slowly and does not mix well enough for groundwater remediation; you also say that turbulent flow can often damage the organisms beneficial for the remediation process. If chaotic advection applications are used, I would assume that the turbulent flows will thus be induced. Considering that turbulent flows can compromise the remediation process, then how is it beneficial for these chaos applications to be used?
