Many high-dimensional and large-volume data sets of practical relevance have hierarchical structures induced by trees, graphs or time series. Such data sets are hard to process in Euclidean spaces and one often seeks low-dimensional…

We propose the Lowner--John deform-cloud scheme as a Lagrangian diagnostic for incompressible stochastic flows with an inertial range. A volume-filled particle cloud is released at the ultraviolet scale and summarized at each time by two…
An ideal compressible fluid is considered, with an equilibrium density being a given function of coordinates due to presence of some static external forces. The slow flows in such system, which do not disturb the density, are investigated…

Identification of coherent structures is an essential step to describe and model turbulence generation mechanisms in wall-bounded flows. To this end we present a clustering method based on Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), a generative…
Planktonic copepods are small crustaceans that have the ability to swim by quick powerful jumps. Such an aptness is used to escape from high shear regions, which may be caused either by flow per- turbations, produced by a large predator…
