Finite-time circulation changes from topological rearrangement of distinguished curves and non-advective fluxes

A vorticity budget diagnoses the growth or decay of a vortex from advective transport, or non-advective fluxes such as those due to friction or vortex tilting. However, when a budget calculation is performed with respect to a fixed coordinate, errors may result from time-dependence of the flow, lead...
