Bouncing droplets on a billiard table.
In a set of experiments, Couder et al. demonstrate that an oscillating fluid bed may propagate a bouncing droplet through the guidance of the surface waves. I present a dynamical systems model, in the form of an iterative map, for a droplet on an oscillating bath. I examine the droplet bifurcation from bouncing to walking, and prescribe general requirements for the surface wave to support stabl...
متن کاملIrregular diffusion in the bouncing ball billiard
We call a system bouncing ball billiard if it consists of a particle that is subject to a constant vertical force and bounces inelastically on a one-dimensional vibrating periodically corrugated floor. Here we choose circular scatterers that are very shallow, hence this billiard is a deterministic diffusive version of the well-known bouncing ball problem on a flat vibrating plate. Computer simu...
متن کاملMode bifurcation of a bouncing dumbbell with chirality.
We studied the behavior of a dumbbell bouncing upon a sinusoidally vibrating plate. By introducing chiral asymmetry to the geometry of the dumbbell, we observed a cascade of bifurcations with an increase in the vibration amplitude: spinning, orbital, and rolling. In contrast, for an achiral dumbbell, bifurcation is generated by a change from random motion to vectorial inchworm motion. A simple ...
متن کاملVertical chaos and horizontal diffusion in the bouncing-ball billiard.
The bouncing-ball billiard is a low-dimensional system with which transport properties of real physical systems can be studied theoretically. We study the bouncing-ball billiard with nonconvex scatterers and small slopes. We show that between the horizontal and vertical motion there is a separation of time scales, which is controlled by the slope of the billiard. We apply the theory of time-sca...
متن کاملDynamics of a bouncing dimer.
We investigate the dynamics of a dimer bouncing on a vertically oscillated plate. The dimer, composed of two spheres rigidly connected by a light rod, exhibits several modes depending on initial and driving conditions. The first excited mode has a novel horizontal drift in which one end of the dimer stays on the plate during most of the cycle, while the other end bounces in phase with the plate...
