Mixing patterns of a passive dye were investigated experimentally in an unwound screw channel flow with periodic barriers that serve to induce a chaotic flow. Continuous cross‐sectional and longitudinal mixing patterns were observed as a function of the barrier fraction and were interpreted in terms of dynamical systems theory, along with 3‐D numerical simulations. Observations include: periodically invariant cross‐sectional mixing patterns due to the resonance bands; pile‐up of dye streaks caused by stretching and folding of manifolds near hyperbolic points; unmixed zones due to KAM tori; longitudinal deformation patterns with exit time distributions; and effects of the barrier fraction on the size of unmixed islands, the thickness of the band of dye streaks, and the distribution of exit times.
