Jinqiao Duan, Hongjun Gao and Xinchu Fu Almost Periodic Passive Tracer Dispersion (22K, latex) ABSTRACT. The authors investigate the impact of external sources on the pattern formation of concentration profiles of passive tracers in a two-dimensional shear flow. By using the pullback attractor technique for the associated nonautonomous dynamical system, it is shown that a unique time-almost periodic concentration profile exists for time-almost periodic external source.
