Confronting Grand Challenges in Environmental Fluid Mechanics

T. Dauxois, T. Peacock, P. Bauer +10

Environmental fluid mechanics underlies a wealth of natural, industrial and, by extension, societal challenges. In the coming decades, as we strive towards a more sustainable plane…

Search and rescue at sea aided by hidden flow structures

Mattia Serra, Pratik Sathe, Irina Rypina +6

Every year hundreds of people die at sea because of vessel and airplane accidents. A key challenge in reducing the number of these fatalities is to make Search and Rescue (SAR) alg…

Uncovering the Edge of the Polar Vortex

Mattia Serra, Pratik Sathe, Francisco Beron-Vera +1

The polar vortices play a crucial role in the formation of the ozone hole and can cause severe weather anomalies. Their boundaries, known as the vortex `edges', are typically ident…

Dissipative inertial transport patterns near coherent Lagrangian eddies in the ocean

F. J. Beron-Vera, M. J. Olascoaga, G. Haller +3

Recent developments in dynamical systems theory have revealed long-lived and coherent Lagrangian (i.e., material) eddies in incompressible, satellite-derived surface ocean velocity…

Coherent Lagrangian vortices: The black holes of turbulence

G. Haller, F. J. Beron-Vera

We introduce a simple variational principle for coherent material vortices in two-dimensional turbulence. Vortex boundaries are sought as closed stationary curves of the averaged L…
