Critical degeneracy in a nonlinear hyperbolic equation can produce atypical instability

This paper deals with the initial value problem for a semilinear wave equation on a bounded domain and solutions are required to vanish on the boundary of this domain. The essential feature of the situation considered here is that the ellipticity of the sp ...

On the relationship between the multi-region relaxed variational principle and resistive inner-layer theory

Joaquim Loizu Cisquella, Ankit Kumar

We show that the variational energy principle of the multi-region relaxed magnetohydrodynamic (MRxMHD) model can be used to predict finite-pressure linear tearing instabilities. In this model, the plasma volume is sliced into sub-volumes separated by 'idea ...

Periodic orbits exhibit oblique stripe patterns in plane Couette flow

Tobias Schneider, Florian Reetz

Spatiotemporally chaotic dynamics of transitional plane Couette flow may give rise to regular turbulent-laminar stripe patterns with a large-scale pattern wavelength and an oblique orientation relative to the laminar flow direction. A recent dynamical syst ...

Nonlinear Transient Stability Analysis of Phased-Locked Loop Based Grid-Following Voltage Source Converters Using Lyapunov’s Direct Method

Alireza Karimi, Behrooz Bahrani

In this paper, using Lyapunov’s stability theorem, the transient stability conditions for a grid-following Voltage Source Converter (VSC) are found. These conditions take into account both the grid specifications and the VSC’s dynamics. The derived conditi ...

Description of beam instabilities in synchrotrons with wakefields and space charge forces using the circulant matrix model

Xavier Buffat, Tatiana Pieloni, Adrian Oeftiger

A new model for the description of beam instabilities in synchrotrons featuring wakefields and space charge forces is proposed, using the circulant matrix approach. The predictions of this model are discussed in light of past ones, with a particular emphas ...

Turbulent patterns in wall-bounded shear flows: invariant solutions and their bifurcations

Florian Reetz

When laminar shear flows in large wall-bounded domains transition to turbulence, the flow exhibits spatio-temporally chaotic dynamics. Despite its chaotic dynamics, the flow may self-organize into characteristic spatially periodic patterns of unknown origi ...

Stability analysis of rough surfaces in adhesive normal contact

Jérémy Bleyer, Valentine Ginette Madeleine Rey

This paper deals with adhesive frictionless normal contact between one elastic flat solid and one stiff solid with rough surface. After computation of the equilibrium solution of the energy minimization principle and respecting the contact constraints, we ...

Predictive control of spiral vortex breakdown

François Avellan, François Gallaire, Simon Pasche

The predictive control of the self-sustained single spiral vortex breakdown mode is addressed in the three-dimensional flow geometry of Ruith et al. (2003) for a constant swirl number S = 1.095. Based on adjoint optimization algorithms, two different contr ...

The size of the sync basin revisited

Philippe René Joseph Jacquod, Robin Delabays

In dynamical systems, the full stability of fixed point solutions is determined by their basins of attraction. Characterizing the structure of these basins is, in general, a complicated task, especially in high dimensionality. Recent works have advocated t ...

From wrinkling to global buckling of a ring on a curved substrate

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis

We present a combined analytical approach and numerical study on the stability of a ring bound to an annular elastic substrate, which contains a circular cavity. The system is loaded by depressurizing the inner cavity. The ring is modeled as an Euler-Berno ...
