Plane Couette flow and pressure-driven pipe flow are two examples of flows where turbulence sets in while the laminar profile is still linearly stable. Experiments and numerical studies have shown that the transition has features compatible with the format ...
Transition to turbulence in pipe flow has puzzled scientists since the studies of Hagen, Poiseuille and, most prominently, Osborne Reynolds in the nineteenth century. Much of the difficulty in understanding the transition is connected with the linear stabi ...
All-electrical spin-wave spectroscopy, Brillouin light scattering, as well as the magneto-optical Kerr effect are combined to study spin-wave propagation through a magnetic antidot lattice nanopatterned into a Ni80Fe20 thin film. The propagation velocities ...
Recently, several approaches for communications using chaos have been presented, often showing less than acceptable performance. In this paper, a short introduction to the topic is given, and it is shown that such methods can be efficient—if the informatio ...
Coarse graining techniques offer a promising alternative to large-scale simulations of complex dynamical systems, as long as the coarse-grained system is truly representative of the initial one. Here, we investigate how the dynamical properties of oscillat ...
The steady states of the Fenton–Karma, the Courtemanche and the Nygren cell models were studied by determining the fixed points of the dynamical system describing their cell kinetics. The linear stability of the fixed points was investigated, as well as th ...
It is investigated to what extent the trajectories of a stochastically switched (blinking) system follow the corresponding trajectories of the averaged system. Four cases have to be distinguished, depending on whether or not the averaged system has a uniqu ...
The online generation of trajectories in humanoid robots remains a difficult problem. In this contribution, we present a system that allows the superposition, and the switch between, discrete and rhythmic movements. Our approach uses nonlinear dynamical sy ...
In this paper we examine coded modulations based on iterations of higher dimensional piece-wise linear maps(PWLM). Particulary, we study a generalization of the Bernoulli map in higher dimensions and its application to communications. In the proposed schem ...
This thesis belongs to the general discipline of establishing black-box models from real-word data, more precisely, from measured time-series. This is an old subject and a large amount of papers and books has been written about it. The main difficulty is t ...
