<strong>Computation</strong>al flow <strong>of</strong> the integrated computations<br />

Main Flow Solver<br />

• t n+1 = t n + dt<br />

• Advance u n to u n+1<br />

Update time h flow maps<br />

• Advance time h<br />

Lagrangian tracers (fwd)<br />

• Advance time h Eulerian<br />

fields (bkwd)<br />

u n+1/2 mod (t n+1 , h) ≠ 0<br />

• Handle flow map B.C.<br />

RETURN<br />

mod (t n+1 , h) = 0<br />

FTLE <strong>Computation</strong><br />

• Map current tracer positions to<br />

launch cells to obtain time h<br />

forward flow map<br />

• Write time h flow maps to disk<br />

• Construct time T flow maps<br />

from sequence <strong>of</strong> N time h flow<br />

maps<br />

• Compute FTLE fields<br />

• Re-initialize time h flow maps<br />

on fixed grid.<br />
