In April 2010, fine, airborne ash from a volcanic eruption in Iceland caused chaos throughout
European airspace. The same month, the explosion at the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig in …

The notion of a Lagrangian Coherent Structure (LCS) is by now well established as a way to
capture transient coherent transport dynamics in unsteady and aperiodic fluid flows that are …

Lagrangian motion in geophysical fluids may be strongly influenced by coherent structures
that support distinct regimes in a given flow. The problems of identifying and demarcating …

The topic of Lagrangian coherent structures (LCS) has been a rapidly growing area of
research in nonlinear dynamics for almost a decade. It provides a means to rigorously define …

Using the recently developed variational theory of hyperbolic Lagrangian coherent
structures (LCSs), we introduce a computational approach that renders attracting and …

▪ Abstract Chaotic advection and, more generally, ideas from dynamical systems, have been
fruitfully applied to a diverse, and varied, collection of mixing and transport problems arising …

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

There has been a proliferation in the development of Lagrangian analytical methods for
detecting coherent structures in fluid flow transport, yielding a variety of qualitatively different …

The term “Lagrangian coherent structure”(LCS) is normally used to describe numerically
detected structures whose properties are similar to those of stable and unstable manifolds of …
