The Transition to Alfven Wave Chaos

在两个相关的研究中探讨了阿尔芬波混沌。第一项研究考察了驱动的Burgers方程，该方程只有一种激波，比更复杂的DLNSB方程更容易求解。利用这个方程，可以检验混沌的开始对谐波数及其增长率的基本依赖关系。第二个问题通过驱动Korteweg- deVries-Burgers方程探讨了斜Alfven激波列车的解析和数值性质。

Alfven wave chaos is examined in two related studies. The first effort examines the driven Burgers equation, which has only one kind of shock wave, and is easier to solve than the more complex DLNSB equation. Using this equation it is possible to examine the essential dependencies of the onset of chaos on the number of harmonics and their growth rates. The second problem explores the analytic and numerical properties of oblique Alfven shock trains via the driven Korteweg- deVries-Burgers equation.
