Pressure-relief valves, often the critical last line of defence in process engineering, are known to be susceptible to valve chatter. Such behaviour has been shown to arise from a flutter instability, or Hopf bifurcation, associated with…
We consider classical two-dimensional Kepler system with spin-orbit coupling and show that at a sufficiently strong coupling it demonstrates a chaotic behavior. The chaos emerges since the spin-orbit coupling reduces the number of the…
