In this paper, the authors examined the geometry of the finite-dimensional attractor associated with fluid flows described by Navier-Stokes equations and related its nonlinear dimensionality to energy exchanges between dynamical components (modes) of the flow.Abstract:
We examine the geometry of the finite-dimensional attractor associated with fluid flows described by Navier–Stokes equations and relate its nonlinear dimensionality to energy exchanges between dynamical components (modes) of the flow. Specifically, we use a stochastic framework based on the dynamically orthogonal equations to perform efficient order-reduction and describe the stochastic attractor in the reduced-order phase space in terms of the associated probability measure. We introduce the notion of local fractal dimensionality to describe the geometry of the attractor and we establish a connection with the number of positive finite-time Lyapunov exponents. Subsequently, we illustrate in specific fluid flows that the low dimensionality of the stochastic attractor is caused by the synergistic activity of linearly unstable and stable modes as well as the action of the quadratic terms. In particular, we illustrate the connection of the low-dimensionality of the attractor with the circulation of energy: (i) from the mean flow to the unstable modes (due to their linearly unstable character), (ii) from the unstable modes to the stable ones (due to a nonlinear energy transfer mechanism) and (iii) from the stable modes back to the mean (due to the linearly stable character of these modes).read more

A variational approach to probing extreme events in turbulent dynamical systems
TL;DR: It is found that the intermittent bursts of the energy dissipation are independent of the external forcing and are instead caused by the spontaneous transfer of energy from large scales to the mean flow via nonlinear triad interactions.

TL;DR: In this paper, a stochastic flow representation is considered with the Eulerian velocity decomposed between a smooth large scale component and a rough small-scale turbulent component, specified as a random field uncorrelated in time.

Deterministic nonperiodic flow
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that nonperiodic solutions are ordinarily unstable with respect to small modifications, so that slightly differing initial states can evolve into considerably different states, and systems with bounded solutions are shown to possess bounded numerical solutions.
