Summary
We focus on three integrated measures of the mixing: the mixed-width, mixedness, and mixed mass. I will also examine the dependence of these mixing parameters on density disparities, Mach numbers, and other flow properties. It is shown that the mixed mass is nondecreasing. The asymmetry of the bubble and spike is also discussed.
