Mounting evidence suggests that fluid advection can effectively be studied by considering
special material surfaces, which are referred to here as Lagrangian coherent structures …

We study three dimensional (3D) oceanic Lagrangian coherent structures (LCSs) in the
Benguela upwelling region obtained from an output of the regional ocean modeling system …

Lagrangian techniques, such as the finite-time Lyapunov exponent (FTLE) and hyperbolic
Lagrangian coherent structures, have become popular tools for analyzing unsteady fluid …

The wake behind a circular cylinder is studied to investigate the complex vortex shedding
physics in the near-wake region. Both the Q criterion and a Lagrangian coherent structure …

Many microorganisms are advected in the lower atmosphere from one habitat to another
with scales of motion being hundreds to thousands of kilometers. The concentration of these …

The energetic particle precipitation (EPP) indirect effect (IE) refers to the downward transport
of reactive odd nitrogen (NOx= NO+ NO2) produced by EPP (EPP‐NOx) from the polar …

Thrombus formation is one of the major complications in myocardial infarction. One of the
causes is known to be the regional hemostasis, ie the presence of zones where the …

In this study, we introduce the Multiparameter Eddy Significance Index (MESI) for use in
conjunction with mesoscale eddy tracking to estimate the impact of mesoscale eddies on the …

In this paper, we use the finite-size Lyapunov exponent (FSLE) to characterize Lagrangian
coherent structures in three-dimensional (3D) turbulent flows. Lagrangian coherent …

Saharan dust events, having great ecological and environmental impacts, are the largest
producers of the world's dust by far. Identifying the mechanisms by which the dust is …
