Generalized Lorenz models and their routes to chaos. II. Energy-conserving horizontal mode truncations

چکیده
All attempts to generalize the three-dimensional Lorenz model by selecting higher-order Fourier modes can be divided into three categories, namely: vertical, horizontal and vertical–horizontal mode truncations. The previous study showed that the first method allowed only construction of a nine-dimensional system when the selected modes were energy-conserving. The results presented in this paper demonstrate that a five-dimensional model is the lowest-order generalized Lorenz model that can be constructed by the second method and that its route to chaos is the same as that observed in the original Lorenz model. It is shown that the onset of chaos in both systems is determined by a number of modes that describe the vertical temperature difference in a convection roll. In addition, a simple rule that allows selecting modes that conserve energy for each method is derived. 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Generalized Lorenz models and their routes to chaos. III. Energy-conserving horizontal and vertical mode truncations
To construct generalized Lorenz systems, higher-order modes in doubled Fourier expansions of a stream function and temperature variations must be considered. Selection of these modes is guided by the requirements that they conserve energy in the dissipationless limit and lead to systems that have bounded solutions. The previous study showed how to select the modes by using either vertical or ho...
متن کاملGeneralized Lorenz models and their routes to chaos. I. Energy-conserving vertical mode truncations
A two-dimensional and dissipative Rayleigh–Bénard convection can be approximated by the Lorenz model, which was originally derived by taking into account only three Fourier modes. Numerous attempts have been made to generalize this 3D model to higher dimensions and several different methods of selecting Fourier modes have been proposed. In this paper, generalized Lorenz models with dimensions r...
متن کاملEnergy-conserving and Hamiltonian low-order models in geophysical fluid dynamics
Arbitrary truncations in the Galerkin method commonly used to derive low-order models (LOMs) may violate fundamental conservation properties of the original equations, causing unphysical behaviors in LOMs such as unbounded solutions. To avoid these, energy-conserving LOMs are developed in the form of coupled Volterra gyrostats, based on analogies between fluid dynamics and rigid body mechanics....
متن کاملA New Chaotic System and Beyond: the Generalized Lorenz-like System
This article introduces a new chaotic system of three-dimensional quadratic autonomous ordinary differential equations, which can display (i) two 1-scroll chaotic attractors simultaneously, with only three equilibria, and (ii) two 2-scroll chaotic attractors simultaneously, with five equilibria. Several issues such as some basic dynamical behaviors, routes to chaos, bifurcations, periodic windo...
متن کاملEffective low-order models for atmospheric dynamics and time series analysis.
The paper focuses on two interrelated problems: developing physically sound low-order models (LOMs) for atmospheric dynamics and employing them as novel time-series models to overcome deficiencies in current atmospheric time series analysis. The first problem is warranted since arbitrary truncations in the Galerkin method (commonly used to derive LOMs) may result in LOMs that violate fundamenta...
