The stability and bifurcation of periodic motions in a symmetric two-degree-of-freedom Hamiltonian system is studied by a reduction to a two-dimensional action-angle phase plane, via canonical perturbation theory. The results are used to explain why linear stability analysis will always be indeterminate for the in-phase mode in a class of coupled nonlinear oscillators.

Mode A

A three-dimensional linear stability analysis is carried out for a convecting layer in which both the temperature and solute distributions are linear in the horizontal direction. The three-dimensional results show that, for $Le=3$ and 100, the most unstable mode occurs invariably as the longitudinal mode, a vortex roll with its axis perpendicular to the longitudinal plane, suggesting that the two-dimensional results are sufficient to illustrate the stability characteristics of the convecting layer. Two-dimensional results show that the stability boundaries of the transverse mode (a vortex roll with its axis perpendicular to the transverse plane) and the longitudinal modes are virtually overlapped in the regime dominated by thermal diffusion and the regime dominated by solute diffusion, while these two modes hold a significant difference in the regime the salt-finger instability prevails. More precisely, the instability area in terms of thermal Grashof number $Gr$ and solute Grashof number $Gs$ is larger for the longitudinal mode than the transverse mode, implying that, under any circumstance, the longitudinal mode is always more unstable than the transverse mode.

We investigate the effect of nonlinearites on a parametrically excited ordinary differential equation whose linearization exhibits the phenomena of coexistence. The differential equation studied governs the stability mode of vibration in an unforced conservative two degree of freedom system used to model the free vibrations of a thin elastica. Using perturbation methods, we show that at parameter values corresponding to coexistence, nonlinear terms can cause the origin to become nonlinearly unstable, even though linear stability analysis predicts the origin to be stable. We also investigate the bifurcations associated with this instability.

The numerical prediction of chaos and quasi-periodic motion on the homoclinic surface of a two-degree-of-freedom (2-DOF) nonlinear Hamiltonian system is presented through the energy spectrum method. For weak interactions, the analytical conditions for chaotic motion in such a Hamiltonian system are presented through the incremental energy approach. The Poincaré mapping surfaces of chaotic motions for this specific nonlinear Hamiltonian system are illustrated. The chaotic and quasi-periodic motions on the phase planes, displacement subspace (or potential domains), and the velocity subspace (or kinetic energy domains) are illustrated for a better understanding of motion behaviors on the homoclinic surface. Through this investigation, it is observed that the chaotic and quasi-periodic motions almost fill on the homoclinic surface of the 2-DOF nonlinear Hamiltonian system. The resonant-periodic motions for such a system are theoretically countable but numerically inaccessible. Such conclusions are similar to the ones in the KAM theorem even though the KAM theorem is based on the small perturbation.

The Stability

This study seeks to characterise the breakdown of the steady two-dimensional solution in the flow around a 180-degree sharp bend to infinitesimal three-dimensional disturbances using a linear stability analysis. The stability analysis predicts that three-dimensional transition is via a synchronous instability of the steady flows. A highly accurate global linear stability analysis of the flow was conducted with Reynolds number $\mathit{Re}<1150$ and bend opening ratio (ratio of bend width to inlet height) $0.2\leqslant \unicode[STIX]{x1D6FD}\leqslant 5$. This range of $\mathit{Re}$ and $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FD}$ captures both steady-state two-dimensional flow solutions and the inception of unsteady two-dimensional flow. For $0.2\leqslant \unicode[STIX]{x1D6FD}\leqslant 1$, the two-dimensional base flow transitions from steady to unsteady at higher Reynolds number as $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FD}$ increases. The stability analysis shows that at the onset of instability, the base flow becomes three-dimensionally unstable in two different modes, namely a spanwise oscillating mode for $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FD}=0.2$ and a spanwise synchronous mode for $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FD}\geqslant 0.3$. The critical Reynolds number and the spanwise wavelength of perturbations increase as $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FD}$ increases. For $1<\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FD}\leqslant 2$ both the critical Reynolds number for onset of unsteadiness and the spanwise wavelength decrease as $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FD}$ increases. Finally, for $2<\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FD}\leqslant 5$, the critical Reynolds number and spanwise wavelength remain almost constant. The linear stability analysis also shows that the base flow becomes unstable to different three-dimensional modes depending on the opening ratio. The modes are found to be localised near the reattachment point of the first recirculation bubble.

The Stability

We investigate numerically and analytically the nonlinear dynamics of a system consisting of two self-synchronizing pulse-coupled nonlinear oscillators with delay. The particular system considered consists of connected digital phase-locked loops. We find mapping equations that govern the system and determine the synchronization properties. We study the bifurcation diagrams, which show regions of periodic, quasiperiodic and chaotic behavior, with unusual bifurcation diagrams, depending on the delay. We show that depending on the parameter that is varied, the delay will have a synchronizing or desynchronizing effect on the locked state. The stability of the system is studied by determining the Liapunov exponents, indicating marked differences compared to coupled systems without delay.

Stability Limits

The goal of this paper is to derive the von Neumann stability conditions for the pressure-based solution scheme, semi-implicit method for pressure-linked equations (SIMPLE). The SIMPLE scheme lies at the heart of a class of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) algorithms built into several commercial and open-source CFD software packages. To the best of the authors' knowledge, no readily usable stability guidelines appear to be available for this popularly employed scheme. The Euler equations are examined, as the inclusion of viscosity in the Navier–Stokes (NS) equation serves to only soften the stability limits. First, the one-dimensional (1D) Euler equations are studied, and their stability properties are delineated. Next, a rigorous stability analysis is carried out for the two-dimensional (2D) Euler equations; the analysis of the 2D equations is considerably more challenging as compared to analysis of the 1D form of equations. The Euler equations are discretized using finite differences on a staggered grid, which is used to achieve equivalence to finite-volume discretization. Error amplification matrices are determined from the stability analysis, stable and unstable regimes are identified, and practical stability limits are predicted in terms of the maximum allowable Courant–Friedrichs–Lewy (CFL) number as a function of Mach number. The predictions are verified using the Riemann problem, and very good agreement is obtained between the analytically predicted and the “experimentally” observed CFL values. The successfully tested stability limits are presented in graphical form, as compared to complicated mathematical expressions often reported in published literature. Since our analysis accounts for the solution scheme along with the full system of flow equations, the conditions reported in this paper offer practical value over the conditions that arise from analysis of simplified 1D model equations.

Theoretical Results

A mathematical model given by a two - dimensional differential system is introduced in order to understand the transition process from the normal hematopoiesis to the chronic and accelerated acute stages in chronic myeloid leukemia. A previous model of Dingli and Michor is refined by introducing a new parameter in order to differentiate the bone marrow microenvironment sensitivities of normal and mutant stem cells. In the light of the new parameter, the system now has three distinct equilibria corresponding to the normal hematopoietic state, to the chronic state, and to the accelerated acute phase of the disease. A characterization of the three hematopoietic states is obtained based on the stability analysis. Numerical simulations are included to illustrate the theoretical results.

Real Traffic

The honk effect is not uncommon in the real traffic and may exert great influence on the stability of traffic flow. As opposed to the linear description of the traditional one-dimensional lattice hydrodynamic model, the high-dimensional lattice hydrodynamic model is a gridded analysis of the real traffic environment, which is a generalized form of the one-dimensional lattice model. Meanwhile, the high-dimensional traffic flow exposed to the open-ended environment is more likely to be affected by the honk effect. In this paper, we propose an extension of two-dimensional triangular lattice hydrodynamic model under honk environment. The stability condition is obtained via the linear stability analysis, which shows that the stability region in the phase diagram can be effectively enlarged under the honk effect. Modified Korteweg–de Vries equations are derived through the nonlinear stability analysis method. The kink–antikink solitary wave solution is obtained by solving the equation, which can be used to describe the propagation characteristics of density waves near the critical point. Finally, the simulation example verifies the correctness of the above theoretical analysis.
