On star-convex volumes in 2-D hydrodynamical flows and their relevance for coherent transport
Oceanic surface flows are dominated by finite-time mesoscale structures that separate two-dimensional flows into volumes of qualitatively different dynamical behavior. Among these, the transport boundaries around eddies are of particular interest since the enclosed volumes show a notable stability with respect to filamentation while being transported over significant distances with …
