Invariant Objects in Volume Preserving Maps and Flows
(2014-11-21)We consider smooth volume preserving maps. Two important phenomena are transport and mixing. We present several geometric obstructions that prevent transport and mixing and numerical methods to compute them. These ... -
Flow, Mass Transport and Surface Waves in Coastal Water with Vegetation
(2014-11-07)Mangroves along the sea shores are known to provide partial protection against tsunamis. A theory is given for the effects of emergent coastal forests on the propagation of surface waves of small amplitudes. The forest ... -

The Search for Exact Coherent Structures in a Quasi-Two-Dimensional Flow
(2014-10-17)Recent theoretical advances suggest that turbulence can be characterized using unstable solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations having regular temporal behavior, called Exact Coherent Structures (ECS). Due to their ... -

Noise is your friend, or: How well can we resolve state space?
(2014-09-05)All physical systems are affected by some noise that limits the resolution that can be attained in partitioning their state space. What is the best resolution possible for a given physical system? It turns out that ...
