Lorenz’s model frequently arises in other types of systems, e.g. dynamos and electrical circuits. Now known as the Lorenz equations, this model is a system of three ordinary differential equations: dx = σ(y − x); dt dy = x(ρ − z) − y; dt dz = xy − βz: dt Note the last two equations involve quadratic nonlinearities. The intensity of the fluid motion is parameterized by the variable x; y and z are related to temperature variations in the horizontal and vertical directions. Homework (continued) Use Matlab’s RK4 solver ode45 to solve this system of ODEs with the following starting points and parameters. 1. With σ = 1, β = 1, and ρ = 1, solve the system of Lorenz Equations for x(t = 0) = 1, y(t = 0) = 1, and z(t = 0) = 1. Plot the orbit of the solution as a three-dimensional plot for times 0–100. 2. For the Earth’s atmosphere reasonable values are σ = 10 and β = 8/3. Also set ρ = 28; and using starting values: x(t = 0) = 5, y(t = 0) = 5, and z(t = 0) = 5; solve the system of Lorenz Equations for t = [0; 20].

  • Short Lyapunov Time: a Method for Identifying Confined Chaos
    A&A 523, A67 (2010) Astronomy DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/200912734 & c ESO 2010 Astrophysics Short Lyapunov time: a method for identifying confined chaos O. C. Winter, D. C. Mourão, and S. M. Giuliatti Winter UNESP - Univ. Estadual Paulista, Grupo de Dinâmica Orbital & Planetologia, Guaratinguetá, CEP 12516-410, SP, Brazil e-mail: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Received 19 June 2009 / Accepted 22 June 2010 ABSTRACT Context. The orbital instability of minor solar system bodies (asteroids, small satellites, moonlets, and particles) is frequently studied in terms of the Lyapunov characteristic exponent (LCE). Asteroids interior to Jupiter often exihibit very short Lyapunov times, TL, and very large radial variations, becoming Jupiter’s crossers and escapers. However, a few cases of asteroids with very short TL and no significant radial variation have been found. These orbits were called “confined chaos” or even “stable chaos”. This feature also appeared in the case of moonlets embedded in Saturn’s F ring and disturbed by the nearby satellites Prometheus and Pandora. Aims. We present a simple approach to estimating the contribution of the radial component of the LCE to identify trajectories in the “confined chaos” regime. Methods. To estimate the radial contribution to the maximum LCE, we considered a rotating reference system in which one of the axis was aligned with the radial direction of the reference trajectory. Measuring the distance in the phase space between the two nearby orbits then allowed us to separate the contribution of the radial component from the others. We applied the method to two different dynamical systems: (a) an asteroid around the Sun disturbed by Jupiter; (b) a moonlet of Saturn’s F-ring disturbed by the satellites Prometheus and Pandora.

  • On the Stability of Quasi-Satellite Orbits in the Elliptic Restricted Three-Body Problem Dissertação Para a Obtenção De Grau
    On the Stability of Quasi-Satellite Orbits in the Elliptic Restricted Three-Body Problem Application to the Mars-Phobos System Francisco da Silva Pais Cabral Dissertação para a obtenção de Grau de Mestre em Engenharia Aeroespacial Júri Presidente: Prof. Doutor Fernando José Parracho Lau Orientador: Prof. Doutor Paulo Jorge Soares Gil Vogal: Prof. Doutor João Manuel Gonçalves de Sousa Oliveira Dezembro de 2011 Acknowledgments The author wishes to acknowledge His thesis coordinator, Prof. Paulo Gil, for, one, presenting this thesis opportunity in the author’s field of interest and, second, for the essential orientation provided to the author that made this very same thesis possible, His professors, both in IST and TU Delft, for the acquired knowledge and transmitted passion in the most diverse fields, His university, IST, for providing the means to pursue the author’s academic and professional goals, His colleagues for their support and availability to discuss each others’ works, His friends for keeping the author sane. iii Abstract In this thesis, the design of quasi-satellites orbits in the elliptic restricted three-body problem is ad- dressed from a preliminary space mission design perspective. The stability of these orbits is studied by an analytical and a numerical approach and findings are applied in the study of the Mars-Phobos system. In the analytical approach, perturbation theories are applied to the solution of the unperturbed Hill’s equations, obtaining the first-order approximate averaged differential equations on the osculating elements. The stability of quasi-satellite orbits is analyzed from these equations and withdrawn conclu- sions are confirmed numerically.

    , 1{28 Is the Solar System stable ? Jacques Laskar ASD, IMCCE-CNRS UMR8028, Observatoire de Paris, UPMC, 77 avenue Denfert-Rochereau, 75014 Paris, France [email protected] R´esum´e. Since the formulation of the problem by Newton, and during three centuries, astrono- mers and mathematicians have sought to demonstrate the stability of the Solar System. Thanks to the numerical experiments of the last two decades, we know now that the motion of the pla- nets in the Solar System is chaotic, which prohibits any accurate prediction of their trajectories beyond a few tens of millions of years. The recent simulations even show that planetary colli- sions or ejections are possible on a period of less than 5 billion years, before the end of the life of the Sun. 1. Historical introduction 1 Despite the fundamental results of Henri Poincar´eabout the non-integrability of the three-body problem in the late 19th century, the discovery of the non-regularity of the Solar System's motion is very recent. It indeed required the possibility of calculating the trajectories of the planets with a realistic model of the Solar System over very long periods of time, corresponding to the age of the Solar System. This was only made possible in the past few years. Until then, and this for three centuries, the efforts of astronomers and mathematicians were devoted to demonstrate the stability of the Solar System. arXiv:1209.5996v1 [astro-ph.EP] 26 Sep 2012 1.1. Solar System stability The problem of the Solar System stability dates back to Newton's statement concerning the law of gravitation.

The gravitational three-body problem 3.1 The circular restricted three-body problem [VK 5; MD 3; G09] ! The general three-body problem can be stated as follows: known the positions and velocities of three gravitationally interacting bodies (i.e. point masses) at a given time, determine their positions and velocities at any other time. ! The general three-body problem is extremely complex. An interesting and relevant simplified problem is the restricted problem, in which the mass of one of the three bodies is negligible. The motion of the two main bodies is an unperturbed 2-body orbit. ! Let us further simplify the problem by assuming that the (two-body) orbit of the two more massive bodies is circular: this is the circular restricted three-body problem. ! For convenience, let us call the bodies: primary (more massive of the primaries), secondary (less massive of the primaries) and test particle (negligible mass body). 3.2 Units and coordinates ! Mass units. Total mass 1, secondary mass µ2, primary mass µ1 = 1 − µ2. The mass of the test particle is m. Often used notation µ2 = µ and µ1 = 1 − µ. We use µ to indicate µ2 in this chapter (not to be confused with the gravitational mass µ used in chapter on the two-body problem). ! Length units. (Constant) distance between primaries is a = 1.

  • PLUTO's HELIOCENTRIC ORBIT* RENU MALHOTRA Lunar And
    PLUTO'S HELIOCENTRIC ORBIT* RENU MALHOTRA Lunar and Planetary Institute and JAMES G. WILLIAMS Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology We review the current state of knowledge regarding Pluto's heliocentric or- bital motion. Pluto's orbit is unusually eccentric and inclined to the ecliptic, and overlaps the orbit of Neptune. Consequently, Pluto suffers significant planetary perturbations. The current uncertainties in Pluto's orbital pa- rameters and their implications for its long-term dynamical evolution are reviewed. Numerical integrations of increasingly long times indicate that Pluto exists in a dynamical niche consisting of several resonances which en- sures its macroscopic stability over timescales comparable to the age of the Solar system. In particular, the 3:2 orbital period resonance with Neptune protects it from close encounters with the giant planets. Furthermore, Pluto's motion is formally chaotic, with a Lyapunov timescale of O(107) years. The extent and character of this dynamical niche is described. The emplacement of Pluto in this niche requires some dissipative mechanism in the early his- tory of the Solar system. We discuss some plausible scenarios for the origin of this unusual orbit. I. INTRODUCTION The heliocentric motion of Pluto is of great interest for several reasons. First, Pluto's orbit departs very significantly in character from the usual well-separated, near-circular and co-planar orbits of the major planets of the Solar system. During one complete revolution about the Sun [in a period of 248 years at a mean distance of about 40 astronomical units (AU)], Pluto's heliocentric distance changes by almost 20 AU from perihelion to aphelion, and the planet makes excursions of 8 AU above and 13 AU below the plane of the ecliptic (see Figure 1).

Cuntz1,3 1 Department of Physics, Science Hall, University of Texas at Arlington, Arlington, TX 76019-0059, USA; e-mail: [billyq,wjeberle,zmusielak,cuntz]@uta.edu 2 Kiepenheuer-Institut f¨ur Sonnenphysik, Sch¨oneckstr. 6, 79104 Freiburg, Germany 3 Institut f¨ur Theoretische Astrophysik, Universit¨at Heidelberg, Albert Uberle¨ Str. 2, 69120 Heidelberg, Germany Received ¡date¿ / Accepted ¡date¿ ABSTRACT Aims. We establish a criterion for the stability of planetary orbits in stellar binary systems by using Lyapunov exponents and power spectra for the special case of the circular restricted 3-body problem (CR3BP). The criterion augments our earlier results given in the two previous papers of this series where stability criteria have been developed based on the Jacobi constant and the hodograph method. Methods. The centerpiece of our method is the concept of Lyapunov exponents, which are incorporated into the analysis of orbital stability by integrating the Jacobian of the CR3BP and orthogonalizing the tangent vectors via a well- established algorithm originally developed by Wolf et al. The criterion for orbital stability based on the Lyapunov exponents is independently verified by using power spectra. The obtained results are compared to results presented in the two previous papers of this series. Results. It is shown that the maximum Lyapunov exponent can be used as an indicator for chaotic behaviour of planetary orbits, which is consistent with previous applications of this method, particularly studies for the Solar System.
