abstract = "We study coherent structures in solar photospheric flows in a
plage in the vicinity of the active region AR 10930 using the
horizontal velocity data derived from Hinode/Solar Optical
Telescope magnetograms. Eulerian and Lagrangian coherent
structures (LCSs) are detected by computing the Q-criterion and
the finite-time Lyapunov exponents of the velocity field,
respectively. Our analysis indicates that, on average, the
deformation Eulerian coherent structures dominate over the
vortical Eulerian coherent structures in the plage region. We
demonstrate the correspondence of the network of high magnetic
flux concentration to the attracting Lagrangian coherent
structures (aLCSs) in the photospheric velocity based on both
observations and numerical simulations. In addition, the
computation of aLCS provides a measure of the local rate of
contraction/expansion of the flow. © 2014. The American
