# gst: reshaping Kuramoto model, when a collective dynamics becomes chaotic, with a surprisingly weak coupling.

<< The emergence of collective synchrony from an incoherent state is a phenomenon essentially described by the Kuramoto model (..) Collective synchronization is a phenomenon in which an ensemble of heterogeneous, self-sustained oscillatory units (commonly known as oscillators) spontaneously entrain their rhythms. This is a pervasive phenomenon observed in natural systems and man-made devices, covering a wide range of spatio-temporal scales, from cell aggregates to swarms of fireflies >>

<< However, this is only partly true, (..) Kuramoto’s perturbative phase-reduction approach is valid for weak coupling. Specifically, oscillator heterogeneity and interactions appear at zeroth and linear orders in the coupling constant, respectively. >> 

AA << have introduced the ‘enlarged Kuramoto model’; a population of phase oscillators in which three-body interactions enter in a perturbative way. Remarkably, this makes a world of difference, drastically reshaping the traditional Kuramoto scenario. The ‘enlarged Kuramoto model’ exhibits a variety of unsteady states, including collective chaos and hyperchaos. >>

could save in short-term, perhaps, the world from this big trouble (i.e.  'grande impiccio').

Here there are three simple questions: 

(a) Why in anticipation of the 'great tea trolley disaster' (after SARS appearance in Nov 2002, Guangdong, China; after MERS in Nov 2012, Gedda, Saudi Arabia) spray forms of antiviral drugs (e.g. remdesivir,  remdesivir like) have not been prepared?

e.g.  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=antiviral+drugs+sars-cov-2

(b) Why in the meantime, hitech reusable anti-viral anti-bacterial fabrics not been studied and tested?

(c) Does it seem serious to propose a vaccine - to treat every six/eight months eight billion people inside a window of 15/30 days - to confine (sic) a mutant virus (one mutation every week) that is transmitted by air?

Apropos of 'homoclinic orbits' ...

<< the reinjection of the departing trajectories in the vicinity of an unstable fixed point of the saddle-focus type [..] is frequently associated with the emergence of orbits of a rather exceptional type known as 'homoclinic orbits'. These are trajectories that leave the fixed point but come back to it; in other words, they tend to the same limit when time t goes to +∞ as well as to -∞ . [..]. Homoclinic orbits are very sensitive to variation of parameter [parms] values and are generally destroyed if the [parms] do not satisfy a strict equality (in the terminology of [..] they are structurally unstable). However, for nearby values of the [parms] their disappearance leaves a very rich structure of orbit in phase space, some of which behave chaotically. >>️

# gst: small-scale random perturbations, Arnold's cat spontaneously stochastic

<< Multi-scale systems (..) may possess a fascinating property of spontaneous stochasticity: a small-scale initial uncertainty develops into a randomly chosen largescale state in a finite time, and this behavior is not sensitive to the nature and magnitude of uncertainty (..). >>

A << intriguing form is the Eulerian spontaneous stochasticity (ESS) of the velocity field itself: an infinitesimal small-scale noise triggers stochastic evolution of velocity field at finite scales and times. >>

AA << prove that a formally deterministic system with scaling symmetry yields a stochastic process with Markovian properties if it is regularized with a vanishing small-scale random perturbation. Besides its significance for understanding turbulence, (their) model extends the phenomenon of ESS beyond the scope of fluid dynamics: (AA) discuss a prototype of a feasible experiment for observing ESS in optics or electronics, as well as potential applications in other physical systems.>>

# gst: apropos of hybrid nanostructures, the Kondo cloud effects on 'impurities' (inside superconductors).

<< when a metal contains magnetic impurities, conduction electrons can form a screening cloud, which essentially screens the impurity's spin. This physical phenomenon is known as the Kondo effect; thus, the resulting cloud is referred to as a Kondo cloud. >>

<< While the behavior of the Kondo cloud in normal systems is well-understood, its properties in the presence of superconducting materials have not yet been explored in depth. So far, most physicists have believed that the screening of impurity spins in hybrid nanostructures takes place predominantly in the screened, rather than in the unscreened, quantum phase. >>

<< The system we considered exhibits a quantum phase transition when the ground state changes between the Kondo state and the so-called Shiba state, (..) Up to now, it was believed that the screening occurs in the Kondo phase. Quite strikingly, we have however, demonstrated that the Kondo cloud exists also in the unscreened phase. >>  Ireneusz Weymann.

# gst: apropos of transitions, when collisions can induce coherent dynamics.

<< In this paper (AA)  demonstrate a route to develop coherence in a system of non-driven oscillators. Here, the coherence is brought about via physical collisions through which the oscillators exchange energy. While coherence in the classical situations occurs due to sustained coupling terms in the dynamical equations, collision induced coherence is enabled solely through strong interactions that are of intermittent nature! >>

<< Very few studies (..) have attempted to study the contact dynamics during a collision. (AA) have generalized the framework of these experiments to demonstrate the collision-induced development of coherent dynamics in the simple one-dimensional arrangement of balls known as the Newton’s cradle. >>

# gst: predict the wetting of the wedge; why do the teapots always drip?

<<  The "teapot effect" has been threatening spotless white tablecloths for ages: if a liquid is poured out of a teapot too slowly, then the flow of liquid sometimes does not detach itself from the teapot, finding its way into the cup, but dribbles down at the outside of the teapot. >>

<< This phenomenon has been studied scientifically for decades—now a research team at TU Wien has succeeded in describing the "teapot effect" completely and in detail with an elaborate theoretical analysis and numerous experiments: An interplay of different forces keeps a tiny amount of liquid directly at the edge, and this is sufficient to redirect the flow of liquid under certain conditions. >>

<< Although this is a very common and seemingly simple effect, it is remarkably difficult to explain it exactly within the framework of fluid mechanics,  (..) We have now succeeded for the first time in providing a complete theoretical explanation of why this drop forms and why the underside of the edge always remains wetted, >>  Bernhard Scheichl.

<< The sharp edge on the underside of the teapot beak plays the most important role: a drop forms, the area directly below the edge always remains wet. The size of this drop depends on the speed at which the liquid flows out of the teapot. If the speed is lower than a critical threshold, this drop can direct the entire flow around the edge and dribbles down on the outside wall of the teapot. >>

<< The mathematics behind it is complicated—it is an interplay of inertia, viscous and capillary forces. The inertial force ensures that the fluid tends to maintain its original direction, while the capillary forces slow the fluid down right at the beak. The interaction of these forces is the basis of the teapot effect. However, the capillary forces ensure that the effect only starts at a very specific contact angle between the wall and the liquid surface. The smaller this angle is or the more hydrophilic (i.e. wettable) the material of the teapot is, the more the detachment of the liquid from the teapot is slowed down. >>

<< Interestingly, the strength of gravity in relation to the other forces that occur does not play a decisive role. Gravity merely determines the direction in which the jet is directed, but its strength is not decisive for the teapot effect. The teapot effect would therefore also be observed when drinking tea on a moon base, but not on a space station with no gravity at all. >>️
