Mixing structures in the Mediterranean Sea from Finite-Size Lyapunov Exponents
Francesco d'Ovidio, Vicente Fernandez, Emilio Hernandez-Garcia +1
We characterize horizontal mixing and transport structures in the surface circulation of the Mediterranean Sea, as obtained from a primitive equation circulation model. We calculat…
Sustained plankton blooms under open chaotic flows
Emilio Hernandez-Garcia, Cristobal Lopez
We consider a predator-prey model of planktonic population dynamics, of excitable character, living in an open and chaotic fluid flow, i.e., a state of fluid motion in which fluid…
Spatial Patterns in Chemically and Biologically Reacting Flows
Emilio Hernandez-Garcia, Cristobal Lopez, Zoltan Neufeld
We present here a number of processes, inspired by concepts in Nonlinear Dynamics such as chaotic advection and excitability, that can be useful to understand generic behaviors in…
