Convective instability with time scale translation of the transmitted fluctuation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Convective instability in an open flow system with distributed time scales from upstream to downstream is studied. By exploiting the convective instability, the upstream fluctuation with fast time scale is not only amplified along the flow but is also slowed down along the flow to the downstream. Through the instability, statistical property of the downstream shows sensitive dependence on the dynamics of the fast element in the upstream, and the fast dynamics is translated into slower dynamics. This convective instability and sensitive dependence on the boundary are analyzed, by noting the time scale multiplication of fluctuation with repetition of bifurcation through the transmission. Relevance of this process to biochemical reaction and memory is discussed. © 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. PACS: 05.40.+j; 05.45.-a; 47.70.Fw; 89.75.Fb

Large-scale instabilities in a nonrotating turbulent convection
A theoretical approach proposed by Elperin et al. Phys. Rev. E 66, 066305 2002 is developed further to investigate formation of large-scale coherent structures in a nonrotating turbulent convection via excitation of a large-scale instability. In particular, the convective-wind instability that causes formation of large-scale coherent motions in the form of cells, can be excited in a shear-free ...

متن کاملNew method for estimation of the scale of fluctuation of geotechnical properties in natural deposits
One of the main distinctions between geomaterials and other engineering materials is the spatial variation of their properties in different directions. This characteristic of geomaterials -so called heterogeneity- is studied herewith. Several spatial distributions are introduced to describe probabilistic variation of geotechnical properties of soils. Among all, the absolute normal distribution ...
متن کاملInfluence of core stability exercise on lumbar vertebral instability in patients presented with chronic low back pain: A randomized clinical trial
Background: Excessive lumbar vertebrae translation and rotation in sagittal plane has been attributed as an associated factor of lumbar segmental instability (LSI) and low back pain (LBP). Reduction of these abnormalities improves back pain. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of core stability exercise on the translation and rotation of lumbar vertebrae in sagittal plan...
متن کاملConvective and Absolute Instabilities in the Subcritical Ginzburg-Landau Equation
We study the nature of the instability of the homogeneous steady states of the subcritical Ginzburg-Landau equation in the presence of group velocity. The shift of the absolute instability threshold of the trivial steady state, induced by the destabilizing cubic nonlinearities, is confirmed by the numerical analysis of the evolution of its perturbations. It is also shown that the dynamics of th...
