This plot represents Exmar's design of the semi-submersible platform
"Exmar-2500" for deep water drilling. The animation demonstrates
the relationship between deformation and stress distribution during
the wave passage.
Caltech's Stephen Wiggins and Chad Coulliette use the theory of
dynamical systems and chaos to study transport in turbulent flows
with organised structures (such as eddies and jets). They have developed
the means to apply dynamical systems theory to any unsteady two-dimensional
solenoidal velocity field. Observing structure in a oceanic jet model
(which represented the Gulf Stream) they have gained a better understanding
of how and why transport occurs across a jet.
