Summary

Adapted from (Bringer, 2004). This shows the movement of both the plugs and the internal fluid. In the top system, along a straight channel there is radially symmetrical mixing with constant vortices, only mixing certain sections of the plug. In the bottom system, along a curved channel there is no longer symmetry. Along a curve, the outside of the plug has more surface area in contact with the wall while the inside has less, resulting in a larger vortex on the outside of the curve and a smaller vortex on the inside. By curving in multiple orientations, the vortex centers and sizes shift to produce full mixing.
