Locating Lagrangian coherent structures (LCS) for dynamical systems defined on a spatially limited domain present a challenge because trajectory integration must be stopped at the boundary for lack of further velocity data. This effectively turns the domain boundary into an attractor, introduces edge effects resulting in spurious ridges in the associated finite-time Lyapunov exponent (FTLE) field, and causes some of the real ridges of the FTLE field to be suppressed by strong spurious ridges. To address these issues, we develop a finite-domain FTLE method that renders LCS with an accuracy and fidelity that is suitable for automated feature detection. We show the application of this technique to the analysis of velocity data from aircraft landing at the Hong Kong International Airport.

We investigate Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) of water coupled with sound and light, namely Quantum Brain Dynamics (QBD) of water, phonons and photons. We provide phonon degrees of freedom as additional quanta in the framework of QBD in this paper. We begin with the Lagrangian density QED with non-relativistic charged bosons, photons and phonons, and derive time-evolution equations of coherent fields and Kadanoff-Baym (KB) equations for incoherent particles.

Knowledge of the geographic distribution and connectivity of marine populations is essential for ecological understanding and informing management. Previous works have assessed spatial structure by quantifying exchange using Lagrangian particle-tracking simulations, but their scope of analysis is limited by their use of predefined subpopulations. To instead delineate subpopulations emerging naturally from marine population connectivity, we interpret this connectivity as a network, enabling the use of powerful analytic tools from the field of network theory.

Complex flows are often characterized using the theory of Lagrangian coherent structures (LCS), which leverages the motion of flow-embedded tracers to highlight features of interest. LCS are commonly employed to study fluid mechanical systems where flow tracers are readily observed, but they are broadly applicable to dynamical systems in general. A prevailing class of LCS analyses depends on reliable computation of flow gradients.

This article introduces a novel approach for spacecraft formation flying utilizing Lorentz-augmented techniques. It demonstrates that the relative motion among spacecraft, driven by the Lorentz force, possesses equilibrium states beneficial for formation maintenance. However, for effective formation reconfiguration, reliance solely on the Lorentz force is insufficient; low thrust is also necessary.

In a Wilberforce pendulum, two mechanical oscillators are coupled: one pertains to the longitudinal (tension) motion and the other to the rotational (twisting) motion. It is shown that the longitudinal magnetic moment of circular currents, and similarly the magnetic moment of a spin-chain, can exhibit a Wilberforce-like vibration. The longitudinal oscillation is related to the Langevin diamagnetism, while the twisting motion is superimposed on the magnetic moment and spin precession.
