In order to classify dynamical behaviors, we resort to concepts of algebraic topology, used to unveil and characterize the structure of chaotic flows from data. Understanding the relationship between the qualitative behavior of single fluid particles with the global organization of the fluid flow in terms of mixing, is an interesting issue that can be addressed from the perspective offered by Topology of Chaos.
