Typical fluid particle trajectories are sensitive to changes in their initial conditions. This
makes the assessment of flow models and observations from individual tracer samples …

This paper provides a theoretical background for Lagrangian Descriptors (LDs). The goal of
achieving rigorous proofs that justify the ability of LDs to detect invariant manifolds is …

The well-lit upper layer of the open ocean is a dynamical environment that hosts
approximately half of global primary production. In the remote parts of this environment …

Vertical transport in the ocean plays a critical role in the exchange of freshwater, heat,
nutrients, and other biogeochemical tracers. While there are situations where vertical fluxes …

Understanding blood transport in cardiovascular flows is important for managing patients
with cardiovascular disease. In this study, three-dimensional Lagrangian coherent structures …

In the Lagrangian approach, the transport processes in the ocean and atmosphere are
studied by tracking water or air parcels, each of which may carry different tracers. In the …

Timescales and residence times in reactive multiphase flows are essential for product
selectivity. For instance when a gas species is consumed, eg, by a competitive consecutive …

This paper presents analyses of drifters with drogues at different depths—1, 10, 30, and 50
m—that were deployed in the Mediterranean Sea to investigate frontal subduction and …

Addressing the threats of climate change, pollution, and overfishing to marine ecosystems
necessitates a deeper understanding of coastal and oceanic fluid dynamics. Within this …

To obtain more realistic approximations of atmospheric Lagrangian coherent structures, the
material surfaces which form a template for the Lagrangian transport, two concepts are …
