Multistability for nonlinear acoustic-gravity waves in a rotating atmosphere.

The multistable states of low-frequency, short-wavelength nonlinear acoustic-gravity waves propagating in a small slope with respect to the vertical ones are explored in a rotating atmosphere. The bifurcation patterns en route to irregular behaviors and the long-term dynamics of the low-order nonlinear model system are studied for varying air Prandtl number σ between 0.5 and 1.

Organized structures of two bidirectionally coupled logistic maps.

We report some organized structures of two linearly coupled logistic maps with different harvesting. The coupled system exhibits chaos via period-bubbling and quasiperiodic routes for identical and weak coupling strength, in contrast to conventional period-doubling route for a simple logistic map. Studies reveal the existence of infinite families of periodic Arnold tongues and self-similar shrimp-shaped structures with period-adding sequences for periodic windows embedded in quasiperiodic and chaotic regions, respectively.

Numerical simulation of unsteady generalized Newtonian blood flow through differently shaped distensible arterial stenoses.

An updated numerical simulation of unsteady generalized Newtonian blood flow through differently shaped distensible arterial stenoses is developed. A shear-thinning fluid modelling the deformation dependent viscosity of blood is considered for the characterization of generalized Newtonian behaviour of blood. The arterial model is treated as two-dimensional and axisymmetric with an outline of the stenosis obtained from a three-dimensional casting of a mildly stenosed artery.
