Hamilton-Poisson Realizations of the Integrable Deformations of the Rikitake System

Integrable deformations of an integrable case of the Rikitake system are constructed by modifying its constants of motions. Hamilton-Poisson realizations of these integrable deformations are given. Considering two concrete deformation functions, a Hamilton-Poisson approach of the obtained system is presented. More precisely, the stability of the equilibrium points and the existence of the periodic orbits are proved. Furthermore, the image of the energy-Casimir mapping is determined and its connections with the dynamical elements of the considered system are pointed out

Coupled spin models for magnetic variation of planets and stars

Geomagnetism is characterized by intermittent polarity reversals and rapid fluctuations. We have recently proposed a coupled macro-spin model to describe these dynamics based on the idea that the whole dynamo mechanism is described by the coherent interactions of many small dynamo elements. In this paper, we further develop this idea and construct a minimal model for magnetic variations. This simple model naturally yields many of the observed features of geomagnetism: its time evolution, the power spectrum, the frequency distribution of stable polarity periods, etc. This model has coexistent two phases; i.e. the cluster phase which determines the global dipole magnetic moment and the expanded phase which gives random perpetual perturbations that yield intermittent polarity flip of the dipole moment. This model can also describe the synchronization of the spin oscillation. This corresponds to the case of sun and the model well describes the quasi-regular cycles of the solar magnetism. Furthermore, by analyzing the relevant terms of MHD equation based on our model, we have obtained a scaling relation for the magnetism for planets, satellites, sun, and stars. Comparing it with various observations, we can estimate the scale of the macro-spins.Comment: 16 pages, 9 figure

On the generalized Hamiltonian structure of 3D dynamical systems

The Poisson structures for 3D systems possessing one constant of motion can always be constructed from the solution of a linear PDE. When two constants of the motion are available the problem reduces to a quadrature and the structure functions include an arbitrary function of them

Attempts to relate the Navier-Stokes equations to turbulence

The present talk is designed as a survey, is slanted to my personal tastes, but I hope it is still representative. My intention is to keep the whole discussion pretty elementary by touching large numbers of topics and avoiding details as well as technical difficulties in any one of them. Subsequent talks will go deeper into some of the subjects we discuss today. The main goal is to link up the statistics, entropy, correlation functions, etc., in the engineering side with a "nice" mathematical model of turbulence
