title: Rate of chaotic mixing and boundary behavior.
abstract: We discuss rigorous results on the rate of mixing for an idealized model of a class of fluid mixing device. These show that the decay of correlations of a scalar field is governed by the presence of boundaries in the domain, and in particular by the behavior of the modeled fluid at such boundaries.
