Abstract
Laminar stirring in planar, time-periodic laminar flows is investigate d, concentrating on the particular case of a cylindrical tank with two agitators. Using the Melnikov method, the choice of the kinematic par ameters of the flow is discussed. A new parameter for stirring is defi ned, that takes into account both ''spatial'' and ''temporal'' efficie ncy.
