LCS Tool: A computational platform for Lagrangian coherent structures

K Onu, F Huhn, G Haller - Journal of Computational Science, 2015 - Elsevier
We give an algorithmic introduction to Lagrangian coherent structures (LCSs) using a newly
developed computational engine, LCS Tool. LCSs are most repelling, attracting and …

Pinch-off of non-axisymmetric vortex rings

C O'Farrell, JO Dabiri - Journal of fluid mechanics, 2014 - cambridge.org
The formation and pinch-off of non-axisymmetric vortex rings is considered experimentally.
Vortex rings are generated using a non-circular piston–cylinder arrangement, and the …

Lagrangian coherent structures are associated with fluctuations in airborne microbial populations

P Tallapragada, SD Ross, DG Schmale - Chaos: An Interdisciplinary …, 2011 - pubs.aip.org
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 …

Gulf stream transport and mixing processes via coherent structure dynamics

Y Liu, C Wilson, MA Green… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract The Gulf Stream has been characterized as either a barrier or blender to fluid
transfer, a duality relevant to gyre‐scale climate adjustment. However, previous …

Detection of vortical structures in sparse Lagrangian data using coherent-structure colouring

FAC Martins, A Sciacchitano, DE Rival - Experiments in Fluids, 2021 - Springer
In this study, vortical structures are detected on sparse Shake-The-Box data sets using the
Coherent-Structure Colouring (CSC) algorithm. The performance of this Lagrangian …

Applications of gravity assists in the bicircular and bielliptic restricted four-body problem

Identifying dynamical boundaries and phase space transport using Lagrangian coherent structures

P Tallapragada - 2010 - vtechworks.lib.vt.edu
In many problems in dynamical systems one is interested in the identification of sets which
have qualitatively different fates. The finite-time Lyapunov exponent (FTLE) method is a …
