In a Lagrangian frame of reference based on lamina (fluid filament) thickness and in a warped time scale based on a single, flow dependent quantity, mixing, diffusion, and reaction can be described in a relatively simple way. Applications are presented for stretch and fold in taffy pull, egg beater and static mixer, shear stretch, stretch of laminae in a vortex, mixing with diffusion, reaction rate controlled by diffusion of reactant through a product layer, and very fast reactions in a turbulent flow.
