Change of the adiabatic invariant at a separatrix in a volume-preserving 3D system
نویسنده
چکیده
A 3D volume-preserving system is considered. The system differs by a small perturbation from an integrable one. In the phase space of the unperturbed system there are regions filled with closed phase trajectories, where the system has two independent first integrals. These regions are separated by a 2D separatrix passing through nondegenerate singular points. Far from the separatrix, the perturbed system has an adiabatic invariant. When a perturbed phase trajectory crosses the two-dimensional separatrix of the unperturbed system, this adiabatic invariant undergoes a quasi-random jump. The formula for this jump is obtained. If the geometry of the system allows for multiple separatrix crossings, the destruction of adiabatic invariance is possible, leading to chaotic behavior in the system. An example of such a system is given.

Violation of adiabaticity in magnetic billiards due to separatrix crossings.
We consider dynamics of magnetic billiards with curved boundaries and strong inhomogeneous magnetic field. We investigate a violation of adiabaticity of charged particle motion in this system. The destruction of the adiabatic invariance is due to the change of type of the particle trajectory: particles can drift along the boundary reflecting from it or rotate around the magnetic field at some d...
متن کاملSeparatrix Splitting in 3D Volume-Preserving Maps
We construct a family of integrable volume-preserving maps in R with a bidimensional heteroclinic connection of spherical shape between two fixed points of saddle-focus type. In other contexts, such structures are called Hill’s spherical vortices or spheromaks. We study the splitting of the separatrix under volume-preserving perturbations using a discrete version of the Melnikov method. Firstly...
متن کاملBifurcation of limit cycles from a quadratic reversible center with the unbounded elliptic separatrix
The paper is concerned with the bifurcation of limit cycles in general quadratic perturbations of a quadratic reversible and non-Hamiltonian system, whose period annulus is bounded by an elliptic separatrix related to a singularity at infinity in the poincar'{e} disk. Attention goes to the number of limit cycles produced by the period annulus under perturbations. By using the appropriate Picard...
متن کاملFree convection in a 3D chamber with local cooling and heating
This paper modeled heating air of a room through examining free convection in a 3D chamber. The chamber had cold and hot sources with Tc and Th temperatures, respectively. Its other walls were adiabatic. This study aimed at predicting effect of temperature difference, displacement of hot and cold sources and their aspect ratio on flow field, temperature and heat transfer rate. To conduct the st...
