Predictability in Unstable, Continuous Systems
The central objective of my research in this project is to understand the mathematical and physical connections between the bred-growing-mode and singular vector techniques recently developed for numerical weather prediction, the Lyapunov vectors and exponents of dynamical systems theory, and instability theories of geophysical fluid dynamics. My intent is to gain insight into fundamental mathe...
متن کاملUnstable magnetohydrodynamical continuous spectrum of accretion disks A new route to magnetohydrodynamical turbulence in accretion disks
Context. We present a detailed study of localised magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) instabilities occuring in two– dimensional magnetized accretion disks. Aims. We model axisymmetric MHD disk tori, and solve the equations governing a two–dimensional magnetized accretion disk equilibrium and linear wave modes about this equilibrium. We show the existence of novel MHD instabilities in these two–dimensi...
متن کاملEnergy spectrum of turbulent fluctuations in boundary driven reduced magnetohydrodynamics
The nonlinear dynamics of a bundle of magnetic flux ropes driven by stationary fluid motions at their endpoints is studied, by performing numerical simulations of the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations. The development of MHD turbulence is shown, where the system reaches a state that is characterized by the ratio between the Alfvén time (the time for incompressible MHD waves to travel along th...
متن کاملThe unstable spectrum of swirling gas flows
The asymptotic structure of the discrete spectrum of a compressible inviscid swirling flow with arbitrary radial distributions of density, pressure and velocity is described for disturbances with large wavenumbers. It is shown that discrete eigenmodes are unstable when a criterion derived by Eckhoff & Storesletten (1978) is satisfied. In general, these modes are characterized by a length scale ...
متن کاملDetecting unstable periodic orbits in chaotic continuous-time dynamical systems.
We extend the recently developed method for detecting unstable periodic points of chaotic time-discrete dynamical systems to find unstable periodic orbits in time-continuous systems, given by a set of ordinary differential equations. This is achieved by the reduction of the continuous flow to a Poincaré map which is then searched for periodic points. The algorithm has global convergence propert...
