Heteroclinic and homoclinic connections in a Kolmogorov-like flow
Heteroclinic and homoclinic connections in a Kolmogorov-like flow
Recent studies suggest that unstable recurrent solutions of the Navier-Stokes equation provide new insights into dynamics of turbulent flows. In this study, we compute an extensive network of dynamical connections between such solutions in a weakly turbulent quasi-two-dimensional Kolmogorov flow that lies in the inversion-symmetric subspace. In particular, we find …
