Transport and Separatrices in Time-Dependent Flows
<p>The method of using Finite Time Liapunov Exponents (FTLE) to extract Lagrangian Coherent Structures (LCS) in aperiodic flows, as originally developed by Haller, is applied to geophysical flows, and flows in the phase space of second order dynamical systems. In this approach, the LCS are i...
