Chaotic behavior and strange attractor in time-dependent solutions of the magnetohydrodynamic equations for the Faraday disc
- Department of Physics, New Mexico State University, Las Cruces, New Mexico 88003 (United States)
Chaos and a strange attractor were found in time-dependent solutions of the full magnetohydrodynamic equations for a Faraday disc in an applied magnetic {open_quotes}seed{close_quotes} field. These were treated by the Galerkin method, truncated at five modes. The seed field is amplified several hundredfold. There are also aperiodic {open_quotes}partial pole reversals.{close_quotes} {copyright} {ital 1997 American Institute of Physics.}
