How classical chaos emerges from the underlying quantum world is a fundamental problem in physics. The origin of this question is in the correspondence principle. Classical chaos arises due to non-linear dynamics, whereas quantum mechanics,…

We propose an uncertainty principle for chaos, focusing on two key characteristics: alpha unpredictability and Lorenz sensitivity. This principle outlines a limitation on the relationship between two infinite sequences that underpin these…

Shock wave theory was first studied for gas dynamics, for which shocks appear as compression waves. A shock wave is characterized as a sharp transition, even discontinuity in the flow. In fact, shocks appear in many different physical…

Turbulence is a ubiquitous phenomenon in space and astrophysical plasmas, driving a cascade of energy from large to small scales and strongly influencing the plasma heating resulting from the dissipation of the turbulence. Modern theories…

A type of chaos called laminar chaos was found in singularly perturbed dynamical systems with periodically [Phys. Rev. Lett. 120, 084102 (2018)] and quasiperiodically [Phys. Rev. E 107, 014205 (2023)] time-varying delay. Compared to…

A simple model of wave-particle interaction is studied in its self-consistent form, that is, where the particles are allowed to feedback on the waves dynamics. We focus on the configurations of locked solutions (equilibria) and how the…

As the Reynolds number is increased, a laminar fluid flow becomes turbulent, and the range of time and length scales associated with the flow increases. Yet, in a turbulent reactive flow system, as we increase the Reynolds number, we…
