Chaos of Double Diffusive Convection in the Presence of Feedback Control Strategy

Abstract

Chaos in double diffusive convection was investigated in this paper. A five-dimensional model of chaotic system was obtained using the Galerkin truncated approximation. The results showed, the transition from steady convection to chaos via a Hopf bifurcation produced a limit cycle which may be associated with a homoclinic explosion at a slightly subcritical value of the Rayleigh number.
