Abstract: We introduce a network (graph) theoretic community-based framework to extract vortical structures that serve the role of connectors for the vortical interactions in two- and three-dimensional isotropic turbulence. The present framework represents the vortical interactions on a network, where the vortical elements are viewed as the nodes and the vortical interactions are regarded as edges weighted by induced velocity. We identify closely interacting vortical elements as vortical network communities through community detection algorithms. We show that the inter- and intra-community interactions can be used to decompose the governing equation for the evolution of network nodes. These community-based interactions are used to identify the communities which have the strongest and weakest interactions amongst them. These vortical communities are referred to as connector and peripheral communities, respectively. We demonstrate the influence of the network-based structures to modify the dynamics of a collection of discrete point vortices. Taking advantage of the strong inter-community interactions, connector community can significantly modify the collective dynamics of vortices through the application of multiple impulse perturbations. We then apply the community-based framework to extract influential structures in isotropic turbulence. The connector and peripheral communities extracted from turbulent flows resemble shear-layer and vortex-core like structures, respectively. The influence of the connector structures on the flow field and their neighboring vortical structures is analyzed by adding impulse perturbations to the connectors in direct numerical simulations. The findings are compared with the cases of perturbing the strongest vortex tube and shear-layer regions. We find that perturbing the connector structures enhances local turbulent mixing beyond what are achieved by the other cases.
