Mathematical tools based on algebraic topology (homology) provide new ways todescribe complex patterns of fluid flow observed in laboratory experiments. First, we will discuss how homology can be used to quantifynon-Oberbeck-Boussinesq (NOB) effects in weakly turbulent Rayleigh-Benard convection patterns.We then will describe homology-based meth...
