Computation of hyperbolic trajectories and their stable and unstable manifolds for oceanographic flows represented as data sets
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we describe a unified algorithm for locating and computing hyperbolic trajectories, and then computing their stable and unstable manifolds, for finite time velocity fields in the form of a data set defined on a spacetime grid. The algorithm is applied to a turbulent regime of a quasigeostrophic wind-driven double gyre in a rectangular domain.

Computation of stable and unstable manifolds of hyperbolic trajectories in two-dimensional, aperiodically time-dependent vector fields
In this paper, we develop two accurate and fast algorithms for the computation of the stable and unstable manifolds of hyperbolic trajectories of two-dimensional, aperiodically time-dependent vector fields. First we develop a benchmark method in which all the trajectories composing the manifold are integrated from the neighborhood of the hyperbolic trajectory. This choice, although very accurat...
متن کاملAlmost-invariant sets and invariant manifolds – connecting probabilistic and geometric descriptions of coherent structures in flows
We study the transport and mixing properties of flows in a variety of settings, connecting the classical geometrical approach via invariant manifolds with a probabilistic approach via transfer operators. For non-divergent fluid-like flows, we demonstrate that eigenvectors of numerical transfer operators efficiently decompose the domain into invariant regions. For dissipative chaotic flows such ...
متن کاملDistribution of Periods of Closed Trajectories in Exponentially Shrinking Intervals
For hyperbolic flows over basic sets we study the asymptotic of the number of closed trajectories γ with periods Tγ lying in exponentially shrinking intervals (x−e−δx, x+ e), δ > 0, x → +∞. A general result is established which concerns hyperbolic flows admitting symbolic models whose corresponding Ruelle transfer operators satisfy some spectral estimates. This result applies to a variety of hy...
متن کاملFinite-time Lagrangian transport analysis: Stable and unstable manifolds of hyperbolic trajectories and finite-time Lyapunov exponents
We consider issues associated with the Lagrangian characterisation of flow structures arising in aperiodically time-dependent vector fields that are only known on a finite time interval. A major motivation for the consideration of this problem arises from the desire to study transport and mixing problems in geophysical flows where the flow is obtained from a numerical solution, on a finite spac...
