Using braids to quantify interface growth and coherence in a rotor-oscillator flow

The growth rate of material interfaces is an important proxy for mixing and reaction rates in fluid dynamics and can also be used to identify regions of coherence. Estimating such growth rates can be difficult, since they depend on detailed properties of the velocity field, such as its derivatives,...
