Transition to turbulence for doubly periodic flows

We construct a typical model for the Poincaré map of doubly periodic flows, which presents numerically a transition to chaotic behavior. After the frequency locking phenomenon, we observe two types of transitions to turbulence. The first one involves successive subharmonic instabilities of a periodic solution. The second one occurs after the disappearance of a periodic solution and can be either intermittent or discontinuous with hysteresis.
