Conclusion Stationary convection:
In the absence of a toroidal flow component:
- tracer move on the surface of torii
- the symmetry planes of the temperature field confine the
torii
- material is communicated between the boundaries and the
interia of the cell
A torodial flow component
- can be generated by a finite Prandtl number or by
   boundary conditions
- this leads to the coexistence of regular and chaotic
   mixing regions
- the mixing efficiency is greatly enhanced by these regions
