If there is one idea you should take from everything presented on this webpage, it is this: stop integrating unstable, turbulent, chaotic systems forward in time. Describe instead the repertoire of admissible spatiotemporal patterns, starting with the smallest, and working your way up to larger spatiotemporal domains. | |
P Cvitanović Recurrent solutions and dynamics of turbulent flows, as seen in experiments overheads (Sep 24, 2022 Georgia Tech Math Colloquium - 44 min) |
In the world of moderate, everyday turbulence of fluids flowing across planes and down pipes, a quiet revolution is taking place. Today we routinely compute 'exact coherent structures', numerically precise 3D, fully nonlinear Navier-Stokes solutions: unstable equilibria, traveling waves, and (relative) periodic orbits. Experiments carried out at Georgia Tech (starts at min 24:15 of the video) measure 'exact coherent structures' and trace out their unstable manifolds. What emerges is a dynamical systems theory of low-Reynolds turbulence as a walk among sets of weakly unstable invariant solutions. | |

P Cvitanović Field theory of spatiotemporal chaos overheads (Jan 26, 2023 Georgia Tech Math Physics Seminar - XX min) |
Gutzwiller semi-classics, Ruelle zeta functions, stat mech partition functions, and QFT path integrals are here developed in a common field-theoretic description of both (low-dimension) chaotic dynamical systems, and (infinite-dimension) spatiotemporally turbulent flows, in a lattice discretized field-theoretic framework. | |

An introduction into the spatiotemporal deterministic field theory of chaos. In particular, we explain that the probability of a given spatiotemporal solution is given by the inverse of its Hill determinant. | |

OrbitHunter (Oct 01, 2021) |
Working notes -very rough, read at your own risk, but with lots of literature pointers- on how to recast finding invariant solutions of the 1D Kuramoto-Sivashinsky PDE into the problem of finding spatio-temporal fixed point solutions. We have give up on finding compact solutions by forward integration in time - instead, we develop variational methods to multiply-periodic solutions in spacetime. In particular, it would be very nice if someone extends OrbitHunter to a general spatiotemporal Navier-Stokes solver that runs on a higly parallelized machines. |
