SELF-ORGANIZATION AND DYNAMIC CHAOS IN CHEMICAL-TECHNOLOGY AND HEAT-EXCHANGE DEVICES: PROBLEMS AND TASKS
L. P. Kholpanov UDC 577.3; 517.9; 536.1; 66.02:621.1:533:51-74 Nonlinear phenomena in thermophysical and chemical-technology processes are considered in the context of nonlinearity, instability, nonuniqueness, nonstationarity, and irreversibility. The perturbation frequency (phase)-to-amplitude ratio is the governing parameter of the nonlinear interaction of perturbations that are described by the proposed general nonlinear parabolic equation. The nonlinearity of this ratio characterizes turbulence, while its linearity characterizes self-organization. It is shown that chaotic conditions can be self-organized under the action of "white noise," which favors the system getting into the domain of attraction of a stable node. The mechanism of the occurrence of turbulence is substantiated. Institute for Problems of Chemical Physics, Russian Academy of Sciences, Chernogolovka, Moscow Region, Russia; email: kholp@icp.ac.ru.
