Abstract

Put several rods in the fluid and stir them with the rules of braid. A beautiful and strange stirring pattern appears on the surface of the fluid. We name this pattern "the braid stirring pattern (BSP)". We discuss the topological properties of BSP, for example, the tunnel number, the growth rate of tunnel length, and the ratios among tunnel lengths.
