Because of the kinematic reversibility of the Stokes equation, fluid mixing at the microscale requires an interplay between advection and diffusion. Here we introduce mutual information between particle positions before and after mixing as a measure of mixing efficiency. We demonstrate its application in a Couette flow in an annulus and show that the mixing efficiency depends in a non-trivial way on the time sequence of rotation. We also determine mutual information from Brownian dynamics simulations using data compression algorithms and demonstrate that advanced neural network based compression algorithms can be applied to estimate mutual information to a high accuracy. Our results show that mutual information provides a universal and assumption-free measure of mixing efficiency in microscale flows.

Keywords: mixing enhancement; entropy production; mutual information; viscous fluids; data compression algorithm
