Heteroclinic and Homoclinic Connections in a Kolmogorov-Like Flow
Balachandra Suri, Ravi Kumar Pallantla, Michael F. Schatz +1
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…

Bifurcations in a Quasi-Two-Dimensional Kolmogorov-Like Flow
Jeffrey Tithof, Balachandra Suri, Ravi Kumar Pallantla +2
We present a combined experimental and theoretical study of the primary and secondary instabilities in a Kolmogorov-like flow. The experiment uses electromagnetic forcing with an a…
