LAGRANGIAN TRANSPORT AND CHAOS IN THE NEAR WAKE OF THE FLOW AROUND AN OBSTACLE: A NUMERICAL IMPLEMENTATION OF LOBE DYNAMICS

Lagrangian transport and chaos in the near wake of the flow around an obstacle: a numerical implementation of lobe dynamics

In this paper we study Lagrangian transport in the near wake of the flow around an obstacle, which we take to be a cylinder.In this case, for the range of Reynolds numbers investigated, the flow is two-dimensional and time periodic.We use ideas and methods from transport theory in dynamical systems to describe and quantify transport Litter Boxes in
