In this paper we present an application of a new technique, based on recent work done by Liu & Ricca (2012), to quantify structural complexity by means of topological methods. These rely on the derivation of the Jones polynomial from the helicity of ideal fluid flows. The techniques discussed here can be extended and applied to real fluid flows subject to continuous topological restructuring.

Abstract

In this paper we present an application of a new technique, based on recent work done by Liu & Ricca (2012), to quantify structural complexity by means of topological methods. These rely on the derivation of the Jones polynomial from the helicity of ideal fluid flows. The techniques discussed here can be extended and applied to real fluid flows subject to continuous topological restructuring.
