5. CONCLUSIONS

Conclusions 1.Fractal dimension anlaysis probed that the mixing occurs mainly at the sides of the blobs and that in the front there is no mixing 2.The fractal dimension differs for the various scalar fields even when there is presence of similar topology and structure. These differences seem to be related with a complex system of cascades of direct and inverse vorticity. 3.The range of scales is very active and complex and in the future the application of Fractal Analysis can be helpful to decompose and analyse these scales. 4.A three dimensional simulation (even better if DNS is used) analyzed with Fractal Analysis may give a better approach to the experimental results.
