Objective barriers to the transport of dynamically active vector fields

George Haller, Stergios Katsanoulis, Markus Holzner +2

We derive a theory for material surfaces that maximally inhibit the diffusive transport of a dynamically active vector field, such as the linear momentum, the angular momentum or t…

Connecting the time evolution of the turbulence interface to coherent structures

M. M. Neamtu-Halic, D. Krug, J. P. Mollicone +3

The surface area of turbulent/non-turbulent interfaces (TNTIs) is continuously produced and destroyed via stretching and curvature/propagation effects. Here, the mechanisms respons…

Explicit Unsteady Navier-Stokes Solutions and their Analysis via Local Vortex Criteria

Tiemo Pedergnana, David Oettinger, Gabriel Provencher-Langlois +1

We construct a class of spatially polynomial velocity fields that are exact solutions of the planar unsteady Navier-Stokes equation. These solutions can be used as simple benchmark…

Barriers to the Transport of Diffusive Scalars in Compressible Flows

George Haller, Daniel Karrasch, Florian Kogelbauer

Our recent work identifies material surfaces in incompressible flows that extremize the transport of an arbitrary, weakly diffusive scalar field relative to neighboring surfaces. S…

Lagrangian coherent structures and entrainment near the turbulent/non-turbulent interface of a gravity current

M. M. Neamtu-Halic, D. Krug, G. Haller +1

In this paper, we employ Lagrangian coherent structures (LCSs) theory for the three dimensional vortex eduction and investigate the effect of large-scale vortical structures on the…

A Critical Comparison of Lagrangian Methods for Coherent Structure Detection

Alireza Hadjighasem, Mohammad Farazmand, Daniel Blazevski +2

We review and test twelve different approaches to the detection of finite-time coherent material structures in two-dimensional, temporally aperiodic flows. We consider both mathema…
