Stability of spiral wave vortex filaments with phase twists
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we investigate the stability of a straight vortex filament with phase twist described by the three-dimensional complex Ginzburg-Landau equation ~CGLE!. The results of the linear stability analysis show that the straight filament is stable in a limited region of the two parameter space of the CGLE. The stable region is dependent on the phase twist imposed on the filament and shrinks in size as the phase twist is increased. It is also shown numerically that the nonlinear evolution of an unstable initial straight filament can lead to a helical filament. @S1063-651X~98!13508-0#

Scroll wave filaments terminate in the back of traveling fronts.
Experiments with the 1,4-cyclohexanedione Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction demonstrate that three-dimensional scroll waves can rotate around filaments that end in the wake of a traveling excitation pulse. The vortex structures nucleate during the collision of three nonrotating excitation pulses. The nucleation process and the wave-termination of filaments are direct consequences of the system's an...
متن کاملHeat transfer enhancement in a spiral plate heat exchanger model using continuous rods
This study presents an innovative and simple way to increase the rate of heat transfer in a spiral plate heat exchanger model. Several circular cross-section rods, as continuous vortex generators, have been inserted within the spiral plate heat exchanger in the cross-stream plane. The vortex generators are located at various azimuth angles of α=30◦, 60◦, 90◦, and 120◦ with non-dimensional diame...
متن کاملSpin and vortex dynamics and electromagnetic propagation in the spontaneous vortex phase
We study the spin and vortex dynamics in the spontaneous vortex phase of magnetic superconductors. Equations of motion are derived which incorporate the coupling between the superconducting and magnetic components, as well as coupling between spin and vortex motion. We show that coupling between the spin and vortex degrees of freedom leads to new dynamical phenomena in the spontaneous vortex ph...
متن کاملShort Wave Instability on Vortex Filaments
The short wave instability on corotating vortex filaments is investigated. It is shown that the short wave instability always occurs on corotating vortex filaments of fixed core structure. Moreover, when the interfilament distance is smaller than or comparable to the core size, vortex filaments produce short wave unstable modes which lead to wild stretching and folding; when vortex filaments ar...
متن کاملHow to make a spiral bacterium.
The motility of some kinds of bacteria depends on their spiral form, as does the virulence of certain pathogenic species. We propose a novel mechanism for the development of spiral shape in bacteria and the supercoiling of chains ('filaments') of many cells. Recently discovered actin-like proteins lying just under the cell wall form fibers that play a role in maintaining cell shape. Some specie...
