Abstract: We extend the techniques developed in the first talk to look at chaotic advection, bifurcation and transport on the bounding surface of a fully coupled 3-dimensional map of our estuarine flow. For non slip boundary conditions in a fluid flow such surfaces are 2-dimensional invariant manifolds on which the flow is generically non-area preserving and hence due to the time periodicity can be reduced to a 2 dimensional non-area preserving Poincaré map. We then apply these techinques to the problems of patchiness and optimal discharge of pollution in our estuarine flow.
