A PCRE internal error occured. This might be caused by a faulty plugin

====== Siminos research blog, spring 2009 ====== :?: Is <latex>$L_y$</latex> fixed to 2 everywhere in channelflow?

The matlab movie-making system is not as robust as I'd like. I saw plenty of inexplicable glitches while developing the scripts and then I would tweak until they disappeared. I would really like to hook up to a more robust and open-source visualization system, prefereably with a Python interface. Would be a great project for someone.... //John Gibson 2009-02-10 10:18 EST// :-| I wait for instruction on phase-space projections in the tutorial as I can't understand those videos. Is the only available documentation the one through the --help option? <sub>{{gtspring2009:gibson.png?14}}</sub> Thanks for the reminder. I will write documentation on this a.s.a.p. //John Gibson 2009-02-10 10:18 EST// :?: It looks like the dynamics approaches the laminar state but very slowly. Why? :!: Laminar state's least contracting eigenvalue is very small (hopefully it is listed in a paper with Halcrow, and we have the discussion in one of the old Gibson's blogs, hard to fish out which one), hence once a trajectory gets close to death, it dies sloooowly. It's worth your time to go through John's derivation, as it is the only set of stability eigenvalues that can be computed anlytically. Contraction rate is slow presumably because laminar state is the least dissipation state, so small smooth perturbations dissipate away very slowly. --- //[[predrag.cvitanovic@physics.gatech.edu|Predrag Cvitanovic]] 2009-02-10 04:07//
