Abstrakt: In the present work, we investigate the ability of recently proposed computational operators to characterize the problem of pattern formation by fluid flow and mass transport in a viscous binary fluid mixture under osmosedimentation. We perform a numerical investigation of these patterns using three computational operators (R² → R), computed from the spatial mass distribution, the streamlines, and the velocity fields. Our main goal is to demonstrate the ability of these computational operators to distinguish different dynamical regimes in the complex patterns arising from the osmosedimentation process.
