For our image this week we’ve taken an image from Covergent chaos, a recent paper published in Journal of Physics A. Marc Pradas, Alain Pumir, Greg Huber and Michael Wilkinson study the instabilities and convergence of trajectories revealing and commenting… Read More ›
Chaotic systems
Challenging ‘one of the last open problems of classical physics’
How can the instanton method be used to determine structures in turbulent fluid flows at high Reynolds numbers?

These dragonfly-like patterns are chaotic and quasi-periodic states in a radio-physical oscillator system. In their recent JPhysA paper, Kuznetsov and colleagues have investigated where these dynamics appear in a system that doesn’t have an equilibrium point, where one wouldn’t naturally expect to find this type of behaviour.
