Abstract
The relation between dissipation and the symplectic structure of the momentum-space is studied in so(3) Lie algebra and in 2D fluid dynamics. Three kinds of dissipative mechanisms are discussed and a general bracket formalism is introduced. A chaotic dynamical system due to Lorenz, and largely studied in low-dimensional models of geophysical fluid dynamics, is analysed in its geometric and dynamical features, by means of the formalism previously introduced. A mechanism of energy transfer for this low-order model is discussed.File in questo prodotto:
