Particle Diffusion in a Meandering Jet
The process of turbulent mixing across an ideal model of a meandering Gulf Stream is studied considering particle motion in two dimensions. The turbulent motion is modeled using a "random flight" model that assumes that the evolution of the turbulent velocity along trajectories is a Markov process, with the velocity at one time step depending linearly on the velocity at the previous step. This ...
متن کاملMixing in a Meandering Jet: a Markovian Approximation
In this paper we investigate mixing and transport in correspondence of a meandering jet. The large-scale flow field is a kinematically assigned streamfunction. Two basic mixing mechanisms are considered, first separately and then combined together: deterministic chaotic advection, induced by a time dependence of the flow, and turbulent diffusion, described by means of a stochastic model for par...
متن کاملChaotic advection of reacting substances: Plankton dynamics on a meandering jet
We study the spatial patterns formed by interacting populations or reacting chemicals under the influence of chaotic flows. In particular, we have considered a threecomponent model of plankton dynamics advected by a meandering jet. We report general results, stressing the existence of a smooth-filamental transition in the concentration patterns depending on the relative strength of the stirring...
متن کاملInterdisciplinary Meandering in Science
I was a graduate student in mathematics at Princeton immediately following World War II, 1945–1947. In those days, with veterans of the war inundating universities, there was no option but to earn a Ph.D. within two years. My thesis research was in functional analysis, an area of abstract mathematics. My mentor was Professor S. Bochner, a distinguished contributor to harmonic analysis. My class...
متن کاملSpiral Meandering
The complex, so called meandering, dynamics of spiral waves in excitable media is examined from the point of view of bifurcation theory. A computational bifurcation analysis is made of spiral dynamics. It is shown that spiral meandering is organized in parameter space around a codimension-two point where a Hopf bifurcation from rotating waves interacts with symmetries on the plane. A simple mod...
