This paper provides a theoretical background for Lagrangian Descriptors (LDs). The goal of
achieving rigorous proofs that justify the ability of LDs to detect invariant manifolds is …

Transport barriers are observed inhibitors of the spread of substances in flows. The
collection of such barriers offers a powerful geometric template that frames the main …

Rotating Thermal Flows in Natural and Industrial Processes provides the reader with a
systematic description of the different types of thermal convection and flow instabilities in …

Motivated by the need to gain fundamental insights into the mechanisms of bed-load
sediment transport in turbulent junction flows, we carry out a computational study of …

Laminar flows can produce particle trajectories that are chaotic,, with nearby tracers
separating exponentially in time. For time-periodic, two-dimensional flows and steady three …

The problem of controlling cylindrical tank bioreactor conditions for cell and tissue culture
purposes has been considered from a flow dynamics perspective. Simple laminar flows in …

Unsteady 3-D numerical simulations and 3-D LDA measurements of an annular jet with a
blockage ratio of 0.89 and Reynolds number 4400 are presented. At these flow conditions …

The swirling flow between a rotating lid and a stationary cylinder is studied experimentally.
The flow is governed by two parameters: the ratio of container height to disk radius, h, and …

In the last few years, many researchers have noted that regions of recirculating flow often
exhibit particularly high sensitivity to spatially localized feedback. We explore the flow …

This study follows our previous report (Zhang et al., Phys. Fluids, vol. 31, 2019, 034105) by
describing the formation and evolution of the engulfment flow in the cross‐shaped channel …
