Abstract: Forced–damped essentially nonlinear oscillators can have a multitude of dynamic attractors. Generically, no analytic procedure is available to reveal all such attractors. For many practical and engineering applications, ...

Abstract: This study considers a combination of two well studied flows: the flow in a curved pipe and the flow in a straight pipe with a sudden expansion. Steady laminar flow of an incompressible fluid through an axisymmetric sudden ...

Abstract: Numerical calculations of laminar flow of an incompressible fluid through an axisymmetric sudden expansion followed by a curved pipe recently done by the authors discovered an early instability of this flow for a certain ...
