We study transport properties in a simple model of two-dimensional roll convection under a slow periodic (period of order 1/ varepsilon >>1) perturbation. The problem is considered in terms of conservation of the adiabatic invariant. It is shown that the adiabatic invariant is well conserved in the system. It results in almost regular dynamics on large time scales (of order approximately varepsilon (-3) ln varepsilon ) and hence, fast transport. We study both generic systems and an example…

Lagrangian structures in time-periodic vortical flows
Abstract. The Lagrangian trajectories of fluid particles are experimentally studied in an oscillating four-vortex velocity field. The oscillations occur due to a loss of stability of a steady flow
Quasiadiabatic description of nonlinear particle dynamics in typical magnetotail configurations
In the present paper we discuss the motion of charged particles in three different regions of the Earth magnetotail: in the region with magnetic field reversal and in the vicinities of neutral line

Effect of colored noise on heteroclinic orbits.
TLDR
This theory shows how the geometry of the separatrix, as well as the noise intensity and correlation time, affect the statistics of crossing, in the limit where the noise correlation time scale is much smaller than the time scale of the undisturbed Hamiltonian dynamics.

TLDR
It is shown that the nonadiabatic dynamics in Feshbach resonance passage, nonlinear Landau-Zener (NLZ) tunneling, and BEC tunneling oscillations in a double well can be considered within a unifying approach based on the theory of separatrix crossings.
Lobe transport analysis of the Kelvin-Stuart cat's eyes driven flow.
TLDR
Results demonstrate a linear dependence of the maximum cumulative transport upon a universal flux function of the form proposed by Rom-Kedar and Poje, suggesting a possible scaling in the transport dependent on the structure index L.
Orbits of unbounded energy in quasi-periodic perturbations of geodesic flows
We show that certain mechanical systems, including a geodesic flow in any dimension plus a quasi-periodic perturbation by a potential, have orbits of unbounded energy. The assumptions we make in the

TLDR
By modeling the flow with a stream function, it is shown how to construct and identify invariant structures in the flow that act as a ‘‘template’’ for the motion of fluid particles, in the absence of molecular diffusivity.
