Mixing Layers and Coherent Structures in Vegetated Aquatic Flows
Submerged aquatic vegetation can dramatically alter the drag, turbulence and diffusivity characteristics of flow in aquatic systems. As a result, the diffusion and advection of contaminants and particulates are greatly influenced. However, modeling efforts generally treat submerged vegetation merely as a source of drag. This study explores the idea that flow through submerged aquatic vegetation...
متن کاملMixing and Coherent Structures in 2D Viscous Flows
We introduce a dynamical description based on a probability density φ(σ, x, y, t) of the vorticity σ in two-dimensional viscous flows such that the average vorticity evolves according to the Navier-Stokes equations. A time-dependent mixing index is defined and the class of probability densities that maximizes this index is studied. The time dependence of the Lagrange multipliers can be chosen i...
متن کاملTracking Attracting Lagrangian Coherent Structures in Flows
This paper presents a collaborative control strategy designed to enable a team of robots to track attracting Lagrangian coherent structures (LCS) and unstable manifolds in two-dimensional flows. Tracking LCS in dynamical systems is important for many applications such as planning energy optimal paths in the ocean and predicting various physical and biological processes in the ocean. Similar to ...
متن کاملExact Coherent Structures in Turbulent Shear Flows
Exact coherent structures are three-dimensional, nonlinear traveling wave solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations. These solutions are typically unstable from onset, yet they capture the basic statistical and structural features of low Reynolds number turbulent shear flows remarkably well. These exact coherent structures have now been found in all canonical shear flows: plane Couette, Poiseuil...
متن کاملLagrangian coherent structures and mixing in two-dimensional turbulence
We introduce a Lagrangian definition for the boundaries of coherent structures in two-dimensional turbulence. The boundaries are defined as material lines that are linearly stable or unstable for longer times than any of their neighbors. Such material lines are responsible for stretching and folding in the mixing of passive tracers. We derive an analytic criterion that can be used to extract co...
