Normally Hyperbolic Invariant Manifolds in Dynamical Systems
- S. Wiggins
- Mathematics
- 1994
In the past ten years, there has been much progress in understanding the global dynamics of systems with several degrees-of-freedom. An important tool in these studies has been the theory of normally…
Chaotic transport in dynamical systems
- S. Wiggins
- Physics
- 18 December 1991
Provides a new and more realistic framework for describing the dynamics of non-linear systems. A number of issues arising in applied dynamical systems from the viewpoint of problems of phase space…
An analytical study of transport, mixing and chaos in an unsteady vortical flow
- V. Rom-Kedar, A. Leonard, S. Wiggins
- PhysicsJournal of Fluid Mechanics
- 1 May 1990
We examine the transport properties of a particular two-dimensional, inviscid incompressible flow using dynamical systems techniques. The velocity field is time periodic and consists of the field…
Geometric Structures, Lobe Dynamics, and Lagrangian Transport in Flows with Aperiodic Time-Dependence, with Applications to Rossby Wave Flow
- N. Malhotra, S. Wiggins
- Mathematics
- 1 December 1998
Summary. In this paper we develop the mathematical framework for studying transport in two-dimensional flows with aperiodic time dependence from the geometrical point of view of dynamical systems…
