Passive scalar statistics and its dependence on Lagrangian coherent structures in stochastic flows
ORAL
Abstract
In recent years, various mathematical tools have been developed to identify the organizing mixing patterns in deterministic aperiodic dynamical systems. In this talk we will discuss the dependence on different identification methods, (Lagrangian Okubo-Weiss, Finite-time Lyapunov exponents, ergodicity partition and geodesic theory), of Lagrangian statistics associated with stochastic aperiodic dynamical systems (e.g. fluid flows with subgrid-scale uncertainties). Gaussian and L\'{e}vy type noises will be considered.
