1. A method for producing cross-stream mixing in a fluid flow comprising the placing of one or more ramped tabs in the fluid flow, each said ramp extending from a bounding surface of a fluid containment and transport vessel and having a surface inclined inwardly at an acute angle from said bounding surface, and causing the fluid to flow over the edges of each said tab thereby deflecting the flowing fluid inward and up the inclined surface of each of said tabs to generate a pair of tip vortices in the fluid from each said tab, each said vortex having an opposite rotation to its paired vortex and an axis of rotation in the streamwise direction of the flow of fluid.
