Structural changes of laminar separation bubbles induced by global linear instability

TL;DR: In this paper, the topology of composite flow fields reconstructed by linear superposition of a two-dimensional boundary layer flow with an embedded laminar separation bubble and its leading three-dimensional global eigenmodes has been studied.
Journal ArticleDOI

The dynamic systems approach to control and regulation of intracellular networks

TL;DR: The case for differential equation models as a ‘natural’ representation of causal entailment in pathways is reviewed and block‐diagrams, commonly used in the engineering sciences, are introduced and compared to pathway maps.
Book ChapterDOI

e-approximation of differential inclusions

TL;DR: The einvariant sets of the differential inclusion — the sets that remain invariant under e-perturbations in f are computed.

A mathematical model for the dynamics of malaria in mosquitoes feeding on a heterogeneous host population

TL;DR: A difference equation model is described and developed for the dynamics of malaria in a mosquito population feeding on, infecting and getting infected from a heterogeneous population of hosts, using the force of infection from different classes of humans to mosquitoes as parameters.

Symmetries within chaos: A route to effective mixing

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that simple two-dimensional time-periodic flows can produce chaotic mixing, where the mixing is not always complete; depending on the choice of the period, there can exist large dynamic structures, called islands, that stretch and compress in a timeperiodic manner but remain segregated even after long times.
