Global organization of 3-dimensional (3D) Lagrangian chaotic transport is difficult to infer without extensive computation. For 3D time-periodic flows with one invariant we show how constraints on deformation that arise from…

The Lie point symmetries and corresponding invariant solutions are obtained for a Gaussian, irrotational, compressible fluid flow. A supersymmetric extension of this model is then formulated through the use of a superspace and superfield…

Oceanic surface flows are dominated by finite-time Lagrangian coherent structures that separate regions of qualitatively different dynamical behavior. Among these, eddy boundaries are of particular interest. Their exact identification is…
