Jan 20: Moved most of last week's in-class tutorial in to the main channelflow tutorial. John G 2009-01-29 10:54
Feb 24: What I think would be useful:
- Present general plane Couette symmetry group
- Important isotropy groups of plane couette
- some portion of the 67-fold path
- the S group containing Nagata-Waleffe etc.
- how certain symmetries restrict kinds of solutions (rule out traveling waves)
- bifurcations and symmetry
- our ardent desire to quotient out the discrete and continuous symmetries
Feb 24: Please read prior to meeting: Halcrow et al. definitive discussion of symmetries of plane Couette (have a look at the version uploaded Feb 23 at 5:17pm). I assume that the study group has mastered ChaosBook Discrete time dynamics, Local stability and Cycle stability under Alex guidance, and I would be happy if you also understood Charting the state space and brought Qualitative dynamics for cyclists to within your comfort zone. — Predrag Cvitanovic 2009-02-23 12:10
