This work describes an experimental study and a numerical simulation of residence time distributions (RTD) in a spatially chaotic three-dimensional flow. The experimental system is made up of a succession of bends in which centrifugal force generates a pair of streamwise Dean roll-cells. Fluid particle trajectories become chaotic through geometrical perturbation obtained by rotating the curvature plane of each bend +/-90 degrees with respect to the neighbouring ones. Different numbers of bends, ranging from 3 to 33, were tested. RTD is experimentally obtained by using a two-measurement-point conductimetric method, the concentration of the injected tracer being determined both at the inlet and at the outlet of the chaotic mixer. The experime...
