Transverse modulational dynamics of quenched patterns
Sierra Dunn, Ryan Goh, Benjamin Krewson
We study the modulational dynamics of striped patterns formed in the wake of a planar directional quench. Such quenches, which move across a medium and nucleate pattern-forming ins…

Topological Entropy of Surface Braids and Maximally Efficient Mixing
Spencer A. Smith, Sierra Dunn
The deep connections between braids and dynamics by way of the Nielsen-Thurston classification theorem have led to a wide range of practical applications. Braids have been used to…
