Major open problems in chaos theory, turbulence and nonlinear dynamics

چکیده
Nowadays, chaos theory, turbulence and nonlinear dynamics lack research focuses. Here we mention a few major open problems: 1. an effective description of chaos and turbulence (chaos and turbulence engineering), 2. rough dependence on initial data – short term unpredictability (turbulence physics), 3. arrow of time, 4. the paradox of enrichment, 5. the paradox of pesticides, 6. the paradox of plankton.

متن کاملSpatio-Temporal Complexity in Nonlinear Image Processing
Ahsfruct -This is a pictorial survey of pattern dynamics in video feedback and in related numerical models. After a short introduction to video feedback apparatus and concepts from dynamical systems theory, a range of phenomena are presented, from simple attractor types to homogeneous video turbulence. Examples of complex behavior include symmet~y-locking chaos, spatial amplification of fluctua...
متن کاملGeometry of state space in plane Couette flow
A large conceptual gap separates the theory of low-dimensional chaotic dynamics from the infinite-dimensional nonlinear dynamics of turbulence. Recent advances in experimental imaging, computational methods, and dynamical systems theory suggest a way to bridge this gap in our understanding of turbulence. Recent discoveries show that recurrent coherent structures observed in wall-bounded shear f...

متن کاملSynchronization of Chaos and the Transition to wave turbulence
The onset of turbulence is one of the outstanding problems of theoretical physics [Landau & Lifshitz, 1987; Frisch, 1995]. A seminal contribution to this study was brought about by Ruelle and Takens, who described the onset of turbulence as a sequence of Hopf bifurcations yielding a chaotic attractor in the system phase space [Ruelle & Takens, 1971; Newhouse et al., 1978]. In spite of the recen...
