Fig. 6. The boundary of the vortex derived from LCS. The left solid line shows the
attracting LCS from backward FTLE calculation while the right-hand-side solid
line shows the repelling LCS from forward FTLE calculation. Broken lines are
spline lines connecting the LCS. The fin (the curve with high brightness
inside the lines) can be seen embedded inside the vortex. The attracting and
repelling LCS do not intersect to give the entire vortex boundary because of
the limitation in integration time T. Every other vector is
shown.
