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…
Transport by Lagrangian Vortices in the Eastern Pacific
Ryan Abernathey, George Haller
Rotationally coherent Lagrangian vortices (RCLVs) are identified from satellite-derived surface geostrophic velocities in the Eastern Pacific (180-130 W) using the…
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…
Addendum to "Coherent Lagrangian vortices: The black holes of turbulence"
G. Haller, F. J. Beron-Vera
In Haller and Beron-Vera (2013) we developed a variational principle for the detection of coherent Lagrangian vortex boundaries. The solutions of this variational principle turn ou…
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…
