This article needs attention from an expert in Fluid dynamics. Please add a reason or a talk parameter to this template to explain the issue with the article. WikiProject Fluid dynamics may be able to help recruit an expert. (November 2009)

Lagrangian coherent structures are structures which separate dynamically distinct regions in time-varying systems such as turbulent flows in fluid mechanics. They can be defined in terms of finite-time Lyapunov exponents based on a frame-independent description of the system in terms of Lagrangian mechanics.[1]
