Symmetry breaking Paradigm In Typical Laminar-Turbulence Transition System
Abstract
A stationary cylindrical vessel containing a rotating plate near the bottle surface is partially filled with liquid. With the bottom rotating, the shape of the liquid surface would become polygon-like. This polygon vortex phenomenon is an ideal system to demonstrate the Laminar-Turbulent transition process. Within the framework of equilibrium statistical mechanics, a profound comparison with Landau's phase transition theory was applied in the symmetry-breaking aspect to derive the evolution equation of this system phenomenologically. A comparison between theoretical prediction and experimental data is carried out. We concluded a considerably highly matched result, while some exceptions are viewed as the natural result that the experiment breaks through the up-limit of using equilibrium mechanics as an effective theory, namely breaking through the Arnold Tongue. Some extremely complex Non-equilibrium approaches were desired to solve this problem thoroughly in the future. So our method could be viewed as a linear approximation of this theoretical framework.
