Preferential alignment and heterogeneous distribution of active non-spherical swimmers near Lagrangian coherent structures

X Si, L Fang - Physics of Fluids, 2021 - pubs.aip.org
We report the interaction between active non-spherical swimmers and a long-standing flow
structure, Lagrangian coherent structures (LCSs), in a weakly turbulent two-dimensional …

Lagrangian analysis of submesoscale flows from sparse data using Gaussian Process Regression for field reconstruction

HM Aravind, TM Özgökmen, MR Allshouse - Ocean Modelling, 2025 - Elsevier
Lagrangian analyses of oceanic flows provide insight into the various transport pathways in
the ocean. This analysis typically relies on a dense set of trajectories that can be computed …

Stochastic sensitivity: A computable Lagrangian uncertainty measure for unsteady flows

S Balasuriya - SIAM Review, 2020 - SIAM
Uncertainties in velocity data are often ignored when computing Lagrangian particle
trajectories of fluids. Modeling these as noise in the velocity field leads to a random …

Drifter Deployment Strategies to Determine Lagrangian Surface Convergence in Submesoscale Flows

HM Aravind, HS Huntley, AD Kirwan Jr… - … of Atmospheric and …, 2024 - journals.ametsoc.org
Surface convergence in the ocean is associated with accumulation of buoyant pollutants as
well as with vertical transport that is important to biological activity. Such surface …

Assessing the information content of complex flows

L Fang, NT Ouellette - Physical Review E, 2021 - APS
Complex dynamical systems can potentially contain a vast amount of information. Accurately
assessing how much of this information must be captured to retain the essential physics is a …
