This review is motivated by the fast progress in our understanding of the physics of particle-
laden turbulence in the last decade, partly due to the tremendous advances of measurement …

Mounting evidence suggests that fluid advection can effectively be studied by considering
special material surfaces, which are referred to here as Lagrangian coherent structures …

The aim of this Book is to give an overview, based on the results of nearly three decades of
intensive research, of transient chaos. One belief that motivates us to write this book is that …

Buoyant microplastic in the ocean can be submerged to deeper layers through biofouling
and the consequent loss of buoyancy or by wind‐induced turbulent mixing at the ocean …

We introduce a simple variational principle for coherent material vortices in two-dimensional
turbulence. Vortex boundaries are sought as closed stationary curves of the averaged …

We use a dynamical systems approach to identify coherent structures from often chaotic
motions of inertial particles in open flows. We show that particle Lagrangian coherent …

The need for structuring on micrometer scales is abundant, for example, in view of phononic
applications. We here outline a novel approach based on the phenomenon of active …

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 …

We study the vertical dispersion and distribution of negatively buoyant rigid microplastics
within a realistic circulation model of the Mediterranean sea. We first propose an equation …

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 …
