Attracting Lagrangian Coherent Structures on Riemannian manifolds

Daniel Karrasch

It is a wide-spread convention to identify repelling Lagrangian Coherent Structures (LCSs) with ridges of the forward finite-time Lyapunov exponent (FTLE) field, and attracting LCS…

Shearless transport barriers in unsteady two-dimensional flows and maps

Mohammad Farazmand, Daniel Blazevski, George Haller

We develop a variational principle that extends the notion of a shearless transport barrier from steady to general unsteady two-dimensional flows and maps defined over a finite tim…

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…

Localized Stable Manifolds for Whiskered Tori in Coupled Map Lattices with Decaying Interaction

Daniel Blazevski, Rafael de la Llave

In this paper we consider lattice systems coupled by local interactions. We prove invariant manifold theorems for whiskered tori (we recall that whiskered tori are quasi-periodic s…

Hyperbolic and Elliptic Transport Barriers in Three-Dimensional Unsteady Flows

Daniel Blazevski, George Haller

We develop a general theory of transport barriers for three-dimensional unsteady flows with arbitrary time-dependence. The barriers are obtained as two-dimensional Lagrangian Coher…

Do Finite-Size Lyapunov Exponents Detect Coherent Structures?

Daniel Karrasch, George Haller

Ridges of the Finite-Size Lyapunov Exponent (FSLE) field have been used as indicators of hyperbolic Lagrangian Coherent Structures (LCSs). A rigorous mathematical link between the…

Detecting invariant manifolds, attractors, and generalized KAM tori in aperiodically forced mechanical systems

Alireza Hadjighasem, Mohammad Farazmand, George Haller

We show how the recently developed theory of geodesic transport barriers for fluid flows can be used to uncover key invariant manifolds in externally forced, one-degree-of-freedom…

Attracting and repelling Lagrangian coherent structures from a single computation

Mohammad Farazmand, George Haller

Hyperbolic Lagrangian Coherent Structures (LCSs) are locally most repelling or most attracting material surfaces in a finite-time dynamical system. To identify both types of hyperb…
