Active Chaotic Flows, Deterministic Modeling, and Communication with Chaos

Abstract

This is the final report on this project. The objectives were threefold: (1) to study the chemical and biological activity in environmental flows often involving larger particles which are influenced by inertia, buoyance, Stokes' drag, and gravity forces; (2) to establish to what extent a natural chaotic system can be modeled deterministically; and (3) to demonstrate theoretically and experimentally that we can encode a message in a power oscillator (source) which is then transmitted through some communication channel (e.g. optical fiber, microwave antenna) to be received by a decoder which translates the message back to its original form, the goal being to use a method for synchronizing a chaotic oscillator to the incoming signal such that in-band noise is reduced.
