Cencini, Optimal tracking strategies in a turbulent flow,  Commun. Phys. 6, 256 (2023).

Abstract

Pursuing a drifting target in a turbulent flow is an extremely difficult task whenever the searcher has limited propulsion and maneuvering capabilities. Even in the case when the relative distance between pursuer and target stays below the turbulent dissipative scale, the chaotic nature of the trajectory of the target represents a formidable challenge.
