| contents | Many random flows, including 2D unsteady and stagnation-free 3D steady flows, exhibit non-trivial braiding of pathlines as they evolve in time or space. We show that these random flows belong to a pathline braiding \emph{universality class} that quantitatively links dispersion and chaotic stirring, meaning that the Lyapunov exponent can be estimated from the purely advective transverse dispersivity. We verify this quantitative link for both unsteady 2D and steady 3D random flows. This result uncovers a deep connection between transport and mixing over a broad class of random flows. |
