<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 />
