We explore the transport mechanisms of heat in two- and three-dimensional turbulent convection flows by means of the long-term evolution of Lagrangian coherent sets. They are obtained from the spectral clustering of trajectories of massless…
We explore the mechanisms of heat transfer in a turbulent constant heat flux-driven Rayleigh-B\'enard convection flow, which exhibits a hierarchy of flow structures from granules to supergranules. Our computational framework makes use of…
Lagrangian coherent structures (LCSs) are material surfaces that shape finite-time tracer patterns in flows with arbitrary time dependence. Depending on their deformation properties, elliptic and hyperbolic LCSs have been identified from…
Many complex flows such as those arising from ocean plastics in geophysics or moving cells in biology are characterized by sparse and noisy trajectory datasets. We introduce techniques for identifying Lagrangian Coherent Structures (LCSs)…
This work introduces a novel Lagrangian-based framework to analyze forced convective heat transfer in the unsteady wake of a heated elliptical cylinder inclined at angles ranging from $\theta = 0^\circ$ to $90^\circ$, in $15^\circ$…
We give an algorithmic introduction to Lagrangian coherent structures (LCSs) using a newly developed computational engine, LCS Tool. LCSs are most repelling, attracting and shearing material lines that form the centerpieces of observed…
Recent advances enable the simultaneous computation of both attracting and repelling families of Lagrangian Coherent Structures (LCS) at the same initial or final time of interest. Obtaining LCS positions at intermediate times, however, has…
Spatial regions that do not mix effectively with their surroundings and thus contribute less to the heat transport in fully turbulent three-dimensional Rayleigh-B\'{e}nard flows are identified by Lagrangian trajectories that stay together…
In dynamical systems, it is advantageous to identify regions of flow which can exhibit maximal influence on nearby behaviour. Hyperbolic Lagrangian Coherent Structures have been introduced to obtain two-dimensional surfaces which maximise…
Coherent circulation rolls and their relevance for the turbulent heat transfer in a two-dimensional Rayleigh--B\'{e}nard convection model are analyzed. The flow is in a closed cell of aspect ratio four at a Rayleigh number ${\rm Ra}=10^6$…
The advection-diffusion equation is studied via a global Lagrangian coordinate transformation. The metric tensor of the Lagrangian coordinates couples the dynamical system theory rigorously into the solution of this class of partial…
The computation of Lagrangian coherent structures (LCS) has established itself as a prominent means to reveal significant geometric structures in time-dependent vector fields. Their characterization, however, requires the selection of a…
Due to large scale flow inhomogeneities and the effects of temperature, turbulence small-scale structure in thermal convection is still an active field of investigation, especially considering sophisticated Lagrangian statistics. Here we…
Analysis of Lagrangian Coherent Structures (LCSs) has been showed to be a valid mathematical approach to explain the formation of transport barriers in magnetized plasmas. Such LCSs, borrowed from fluid dynamics theory, can be considered as…
We generalize leading-order asymptotics of a form of the heat content of a submanifold (van den Berg & Gilkey 2015) to the setting of time-dependent diffusion processes in the limit of vanishing diffusivity. Such diffusion processes arise…
High-speed stereo PIV-measurements have been performed in a turbulent boundary layer at Re$_{\theta}$ of 9800 in order to elucidate the coherent structures. Snapshot proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) and dynamic mode decomposition (DMD)…
The study of transport and mixing processes in dynamical systems is particularly important for the analysis of mathematical models of physical systems. We propose a novel, direct geometric method to identify subsets of phase space that…
This paper introduces a novel theoretical framework for identifying Lagrangian Coherent Structures (LCS) in manifolds with non-constant curvature, extending the theory to Finsler manifolds. By leveraging Riemannian and Finsler geometry, we…
The advection-diffusion equation can be approximated by a one-dimensional diffusion equation in Lagrangian coordinates along the directions of compression of fluid elements (the stable manifold). This result holds in any number of…
Active flows are central to mixing and transport across living systems. While Newtonian fluids remain laminar, diffusive and predictable at the microscale, living fluids like dense bacterial suspensions can exhibit highly chaotic flows like…
