Project type: SLP

Motivation to pursue project: I wanted to explore more on Turbulent flow characteristics .So , when I approached prof he told me to start from lcs , which will give a headstart to dig deep into it.

Summary of Project: Initially conducted literature review on computation on lcs using 2 approaches ,one is lagrangian and second Eulerian . Derived results mathematically that Eulerian diagnostic to be the limit of Lagrangian diagnostics . Finally validated Theory and the mathematical results using a Classic example of double gyre by comparing the alternation rate field to the ftle using Matlab.
