contents We study two famous interacting particle systems, the so-called Richardson's model and the contact process, when we add a stirring dynamics to them. We prove that they both satisfy an asymptotic shape theorem, as their analogues without stirring, but only for high enough infection rates, using couplings and restart techniques. We also show that for Richardson's model with stirring, for high enough infection rates, each site is forever infected after a certain time almost surely. Finally, we study weak and strong survival for both models on a homogeneous infinite tree, and show that there are two phase transitions for certain values of the parameters and the dimension, which is a result similar to what is proved for the contact process.
