Fall Meeting 2022

December 12 - 16, 2022

Lagrangian Coherent Structures (LCS) are the inherent invisible features present in the flow field that divides the regions with different dynamical behavior and reveals the geometry, which is often hidden when viewing the velocity field. They act as barriers to the particle transport and provide useful insight into understanding the time-dependent dynamical systems and material transport. Haller (2000) first introduces the concept and terminology of LCS. Since then, many researchers have applied the concept of LCS to a wide variety of fields, such as (i) developing effective pollution release strategies to reduce coastal contamination (Lekien et al.,2005; Coulliette et al.,2007), (ii) developing an effective drift release strategy for ocean measurements (Shadden et al.,2009), (iii) prediction of transport of cooling water released from the power plants (Wei et al., 2013), (iv) prediction of the fate of oil spilled in the Gulf of Mexico etc.

We are soliciting abstracts that employ Lagrangian Coherent Structure (LCS) based approaches to study the dynamical behavior of the systems and support the development of novel applications (e.g., new theoretical, experimental, and computational advancements). The session focuses on (but is not limited to) exploring the advancements in the Lagrangian based concepts for a better understanding of the time-dependent systems.
