Metastable Chaos: The Transition to Sustained Chaotic Behavior in the Lorenz Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
The system of equations introduced by Lorenz to model turbulent convective flow is studied here for Rayleigh numbers r somewhat smaller than the critical value required for sustained chaotic behavior. In this regime the system is found to exhibit transient chaotic behavior. Some statistical properties of this transient chaos are examined numerically. A mean decay time from chaos to steady flow is found and its dependence upon r is studied both numerically and (very close to the critical r) analytically.

Design and Simulation of Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference Based Controller for Chaotic Lorenz System
Chaos is a nonlinear behavior that shows chaotic and irregular responses to internal and external stimuli in dynamic systems. This behavior usually appears in systems that are highly sensitive to initial condition. In these systems, stabilization is a highly considerable tool for eliminating aberrant behaviors. In this paper, the problem of stabilization and tracking the chaos are investigated....
متن کاملConservative chaotic flow generated via a pseudo-linear system
Analysis of nonlinear autonomous systems has been a popular field of study in recent decades. As an interesting nonlinear behavior, chaotic dynamics has been intensively investigated since Lorenz discovered the first physical evidence of chaos in his famous equations. Although many chaotic systems have been ever reported in the literature, a systematic and qualitative approach for chaos generat...
متن کاملDynamical behavior and synchronization of chaotic chemical reactors model
In this paper, we discuss the dynamical properties of a chemical reactor model including Lyapunov exponents, bifurcation, stability of equilibrium and chaotic attractors as well as necessary conditions for this system to generate chaos. We study the synchronization of chemical reactors model via sliding mode control scheme. The stability of proposed method is proved by Barbalate’s lemma. Numeri...

Multistability is an interesting phenomenon of nonlinear dynamical systems. To gain insights into the effects of noise on multistability, we consider the parameter region of the Lorenz equations that admits two stable fixed point attractors, two unstable periodic solutions, and a metastable chaotic “attractor”. Depending on the values of the parameters, we observe and characterize three interes...
متن کاملA Study of Pedestrian Movement on Crosswalks Based on Chaos Theory
Walking, as an important transportation mode, plays a large part in urban transportation systems. This mode is of great importance for planners and decision-makers because of its impact on environmental and health aspects of communities. However, this mode is so complex in nature that makes it difficult to study or model. On the other hand, chaos theory studies complex dynamical nonlinear syste...
