Dripping Faucet Dynamics Clarified by an Improved Mass-Spring Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
An improved mass-spring model for a dripping faucet is presented. The model is constructed based on the numerical results which we recently obtained from fluid dynamical calculations. Both the fluid dynamical calculations and the present mass-spring model exhibit a variety of complex behavior including transition to chaos in good agreement with experiments. Further, the mass-spring model reveals fundamental dynamics inherent in the dripping faucet system.

Drip Drip ’Til You Drop: An Investigation of Dripping Faucet Dynamics
In this paper, we investigate the dripping faucet as an example of a chaotic system. Using an improved mass-spring model, we simulate the dynamics qualitatively, reproducing all the major behaviors seen in experimental systems and the literature. Experimentally, we are able to reproduce one, two, and three-period motion, as well as chaos, closely matching the literature. Our major insights were...
متن کاملManifold learning approach for chaos in the dripping faucet.
Dripping water from a faucet is a typical example exhibiting rich nonlinear phenomena. For such a system, the time stamps at which water drops separate from the faucet can be directly observed in real experiments, and the time series of intervals τn between drop separations becomes a subject of analysis. Even if the mass mn of a drop at the onset of the nth separation, which is difficult to obs...
متن کاملNonlinear dynamics of a flow-focusing bubble generator: an inverted dripping faucet.
We describe the rich dynamic behavior--including period-doubling and period-halving bifurcations, intermittency, and chaos--observed in the breakup of an inviscid fluid in a coflowing, viscous liquid, both confined in a microfabricated flow-focusing geometry. Experimental observations support inertia-dominated dynamics of the interface, and suggest the possible similarity to the dynamics of a t...
متن کاملHydro - dynamical models for the chaotic dripping faucet
We give a hydrodynamical explanation for the chaotic behaviour of a dripping faucet using the results of the stability analysis of a static pendant drop and a proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) of the complete dynamics. We find that the only relevant modes are the two classical normal forms associated with a saddle– node–Andronov bifurcation and a Shilnikov homoclinic bifurcation. This allow...
متن کاملChaotic dynamics of driven flux drops: a superconducting "dripping faucet".
When a current is applied to a type-I superconducting strip containing a narrow channel across its width, magnetic flux spots nucleate at the edge and are then driven along the channel by the current. These flux "drops" are reminiscent of water drops dripping from a faucet, a model system for studying low-dimensional chaos. We use a novel high-bandwidth Hall probe to detect in real time the mot...
