A numerical study has been performed on enhancement of heat transfer in a forced convection of the modified driven-cavity flow which was previously found by the author to give a regular or chaotic stirring depending on the parameter value. It is found that for the present case wherein heat is transmitted between fluid and the surrounding walls, the chaotic stirring enhances the heat transfer at high Peclet numbers. The optimal condition of the flow modulation for the best heat transfer can be predicted by purely investigating the hydrodynamic facet, i.e. the stirring effect.

The dispersion in the oscillatory flow generated by gravitational waves above the spatially periodic repples is studied. The steady parts of equations describing the orbit of the passive particle in a two dimensional field are assumed to be simply trigonometric functions. From the view point of nonlinear dynamics, the motion of the particle is chaotic under externally time-periodic perturbations which come from the wave motion. Two cases considered here are; (i) shallow water, and (ii) deep water approximation.
