Quasi-objective coherent structure diagnostics from single trajectories
We derive measures of local material stretching and rotation that are computable from
individual trajectories without reliance on other trajectories or on an underlying velocity field …

Can vortex criteria be objectivized?
G Haller - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2021 - cambridge.org
Several procedures have been proposed to modify non-objective (observer-dependent)
local vortex criteria so that they become objective. These modifications are only justifiable if …
