Topological analysis of the periodic structures in a harmonically driven bubble oscillator near Blake's critical threshold: Infinite sequence of two-sided Farey ordering trees

Abstract

The topology of the stable periodic orbits of a harmonically driven bubble oscillator, the Rayleigh-Plesset equation, in the space of the excitation parameters (pressure amplitude and frequency) has been revealed numerically. This topology is governed by a hierarchy of two-sided Farey trees initiated from a unique primary structure defined also by a simple asymmetric Farey tree. The sub-topology of each of these building blocks is driven by a homoclinic tangency of a periodic saddle. This self-similar organization is a suitable basis for a general description, since it is in good agreement with partial results obtained in other periodically forced oscillators and iterated maps. The applied ambient pressure in the model is near but still below Blake's critical threshold. Therefore, this paper is also a straightforward continuation of the work of Hegedűs [1], who first found numerical evidence for the existence of stable, period 1 solutions beyond Blake's threshold. The present findings are crucial for the extension of the available numerical results from period 1 to arbitrary periodicity.

Nonlinear power loss in the oscillations of coated and uncoated bubbles: Role of thermal, radiation and encapsulating shell damping at various excitation pressures

“…Dynamics of the acoustically excited bubbles are nonlinear and chaotic. These dynamics have been the subject of numerous experimental [1,15,[17][18][19][20] and numerical [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] studies . Achieving the full potential of bubbles in applications and understanding their role in the associated phenomena not only requires a detailed knowledge over their complex behavior but also on the effect of bubble oscillations on the propagation of acoustic waves.…”

Non-feedback technique to directly control multistability in nonlinear oscillators by dual-frequency driving

“…AUTO is capable of tracking down whole bifurcation curves including the unstable part even if they contain multiple turning points, and it can detect the bifurcations and their types. This is the reason why AUTO is commonly used to study the bifurcation structure of nonlinear systems [5,53,[55][56][57][58][59][60][61]. In Fig.…”

“…5. This third step is possible, since both the 3 × P1 and the P3 curves are related to the same subharmonic resonance of order 1/3, which forms a con-tinuous domain in the pressure amplitude-frequency parameter plane [53,61]. Therefore, a smooth transformation of a period-2 solution into a period-3 orbit of a single-frequency driven system is possible by a temporary addition of a second harmonic component to the driving.…”

High-performance GPU computations in nonlinear dynamics: an efficient tool for new discoveries

“…the pseudo-arclength continuation using a boundary value problem solver (BVP) [33]) that can explore the evolution of bifurcation points even in two dimensions fast and easily. Indeed, in this way, valuable information can be obtained about the bifurcation structures [4,20,[34][35][36][37]. Nevertheless, these techniques need an already found orbit to initiate the computation.…”
