Abstract: | We propose the Karhunen-Loève (K-L) decomposition as a tool to analyze complex spatio-temporal structures in PDE simulations in terms of concepts from dynamical systems theory. Taking the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation as a model problem we discuss the K-L decomposition for 4 different values of its bifurcation parameter . We distinguish two modes of using the K-L decomposition: As an analytic and synthetic tool respectively. Using the analytic mode we find unstable fixed points and stable and unstable manifolds in a parameter regime with structurally stable homoclinic orbits (=17.75). Choosing the data for a K-L analysis carefully by restricting them to certain burst events, we can analyze a more complicated intermittent regime at =68. We establish that the spatially localized oscillations around a so called strange fixed point which are considered as fore-runners of spatially concentrated zones of turbulence are in fact created by a very specific limit cycle (=83.75) which, for =87, bifurcates into a modulated traveling wave. Using the K-L decomposition synthetically by determining an optimal Galerkin system, we present evidence that the K-L decomposition systematically destroys dissipation and leads to blow up solutions.We would like to dedicate this paper to Klaus Kirchgässner on the occasion of his 60th birthday |
