| Onset of chaotic Kolmogorov flows resulting from interacting oscillatory modes (2005) | |||||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||||
| On the basis of rigorous analysis supported by numerical computation, a systematic study is presented to locate and examine chaotic Kolmogorov flows resulting from the interaction of a basic steady-state flow and oscillatory modes. Referenced to suitably chosen initial conditions of the Kolmogorov flow model, these oscillatory modes are derived from the equation linearized around the basic steady-state flow. The numerical experiments provide insight into the transition process from secondary self-oscillation flows or secondary steady-state flows to chaotic Kolmogorov flows. | |||||||||||
