متن کاملBanded spatiotemporal chaos in sheared nematogenic fluids.
We present the results of a numerical study of a model of the hydrodynamics of a sheared nematogenic fluid, taking into account the effects of order-parameter stresses on the velocity profile but allowing spatial variations only in the gradient direction. When parameter values are such that the stress from orientational distortions is comparable to the bare viscous stress, the system exhibits s...
متن کاملRoutes to spatiotemporal chaos in the rheology of nematogenic fluids.
With a view to understanding the "rheochaos" observed in recent experiments in a variety of orientable fluids, we study numerically the equations of motion of the spatiotemporal evolution of the traceless symmetric order parameter of a sheared nematogenic fluid. In particular we establish, by decisive numerical tests, that the irregular oscillatory behavior seen in a region of parameter space w...
متن کاملSpace and Scale Localization in a Model of a Direct Transition to Spatiotemporal Chaos
We present the results of a wavelet-based approach to the study of the chaotic dynamics of a one dimensional model that shows a direct transition to spatiotemporal chaos. We find that the dynamics of this model in the spatiotemporally chaotic regime may be understood in terms of localized dynamics in both space and scale (wavenumber). A projection onto a Daubechies basis yields a good separatio...
متن کاملComputational Study of a Weakly Compressible Mixing Barrier in Low Prandtl Number, Strongly Stratified Fluids
The effects of weak compressibility in the evolution of a fluid governed by the anelastic fluid equations are explored computationally. The basis for this study is a careful determination of the role which the anelastic divergence constraint plays in the evolution of a periodic array of interacting vortices. Our numerical studies address a blocking phenomenon occurring in strongly stratified fl...
