Chaotic systems: head-on collison of two dipolar vortices in a stratified fluid environment. The original vortices,dyed orange and green,have exchanged a partner to form two new (mixed) dipoles which are moving at roughly right angles to the original direction of travel,that is,towards the top & bottom of the image. The green fluid was injected from the right,the orange from the left. Dipolar vortices are relevant to turbulence in large-scale geophysical systems such as the atmosphere or oceans. Turbulence in fluid systems is one example of a chaotic system | |
