Dynamics of a small neutrally buoyant sphere in a fluid and targeting in Hamiltonian systems.

چکیده
We show that, even in the most favorable case, the motion of a small spherical tracer suspended in a fluid of the same density may differ from the corresponding motion of an ideal passive particle. We demonstrate furthermore how its dynamics may be applied to target trajectories in Hamiltonian systems.

Noise- and inertia-induced inhomogeneity in the distribution of small particles in fluid flows.
The dynamics of small spherical neutrally buoyant particulate impurities immersed in a two-dimensional fluid flow are known to lead to particle accumulation in the regions of the flow in which vorticity dominates over strain, provided that the Stokes number of the particles is sufficiently small. If the flow is viewed as a Hamiltonian dynamical system, it can be seen that the accumulations occu...
متن کاملBailout Embeddings, Targeting of KAM Orbits, and the Control of Hamiltonian Chaos
Control of chaos in nonlinear dynamical systems has been achieved by applying small perturbations that effectively change the dynamics of the system around the region — typically a periodic orbit — that one wishes to stabilize [1]. This method has been successful in dissipative systems, but its extensions to control and targeting in Hamiltonian systems [2– 10] have met various difficulties not ...
متن کاملBailout embeddings and neutrally buoyant particles in three-dimensional flows.
We use the bailout embeddings of three-dimensional volume-preserving maps to study qualitatively the dynamics of small spherical neutrally buoyant impurities suspended in a time-periodic incompressible fluid flow. The accumulation of impurities in tubular vortical structures, the detachment of particles from fluid trajectories near hyperbolic invariant lines, and the formation of nontrivial thr...
متن کاملInstabilities in the dynamics of neutrally buoyant particles
The asymptotic dynamics of finite-size particles is governed by a slow manifold that is globally attracting for sufficiently small Stokes numbers. For neutrally buoyant particles suspensions , the slow dynamics coincide with that of infinitesimally small particles, therefore the suspension dynamics should synchronize with Lagrangian particle motions. Paradoxically, recent studies observe a scat...
متن کاملMigration of rigid spheres in a two-dimensional unidirectional shear flow of a second-order fluid
The lateral migration of a neutrally buoyant rigid sphere suspended in a secondorder fluid is studied theoretically for unidirectional two-dimensional flows. The results demonstrate the existence of migration induced by normal stresses whenever there is a lateral variation of the shear rate in the undisturbed flow. The migration occurs in the direction of decreasing absolute shear rate, which i...
