Particles at successive times evolve by approaching the hyperbolic point along the stable direction (blue) and getting away from it along the unstable direction (red). Green blobs that represent particle ensembles illustrate this behavior; b) Visualization of a hyperbolic point by means of Lagrangian Descriptors (also known as function M) evaluated on a time dependent velocity field. The current field is drawn with black arrows.
