Turbulent Snow Transport and Accumulation: New Reduced-Order Models and Diagnostics

Nikolas O. Aksamit, Alex P. Encinas-Bartos, Holt Hancock +1

Understanding and modeling snow particle dynamics in the atmosphere remains a significant challenge for atmospheric scientists, hydrologists, and glaciologists. Temporally and spat…

Material Barriers to the Diffusive Magnetic Flux in Magnetohydrodynamics

A. Encinas-Bartos, B. Kaszás, S. Servidio +1

Recent work has identified objective (frame-indifferent) material barriers that inhibit the transport of dynamically active vectorial quantities (such as linear momentum, angular m…

Vorticity Alignment with Lyapunov Vectors and Rate-of-Strain Eigenvectors

Alex Encinas-Bartos, George Haller

We derive asymptotic estimates for the projection of the vorticity onto principal directions of material stretching in 3D flows. In flows with pointwise bounded vorticity, these es…

Relative Fluid Stretching and Rotation for Sparse Trajectory Observations

Nikolas O. Aksamit, Alex P. Encinas-Bartos, George Haller +1

As most mathematically justifiable Lagrangian coherent structure detection methods rely on spatial derivatives, their applicability to sparse trajectory data has been limited. For…

Quasi-Objective Eddy Visualization from Sparse Drifter Data

Alex P. Encinas Bartos, Nikolas O. Aksamit, George Haller

We employ a recently developed single-trajectory Lagrangian diagnostic tool, the trajectory rotation average , to visualize oceanic vortices (or eddies…

Quasi-Objective Coherent Structure Diagnostics from Single Trajectories

George Haller, Nikolas Aksamit, Alex P. Encinas Bartos

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 fi…
