Our testing ground is the counter-rotation regime of the Taylor–Couette flow, where numerical calculations are performed within a small periodic domain. The accurate computation of up to the seventh period-doubling bifurcation, assisted by a purposely defined Poincaré section, has enabled us to reproduce the two Feigenbaum universal constants with unprecedented accuracy in a fluid flow problem. We have further devised a method to predict the bifurcation diagram up to the accumulation point of the cascade based on the detailed inspection of just the first few period-doubling bifurcations. Remarkably, the method is applicable beyond the accumulation point, with predictions remaining valid, in a statistical sense, for the chaotic dynamics that follows.","lang":"eng"}],"citation":{"mla":"Wang, Baoying, et al. “Feigenbaum Universality in Subcritical Taylor-Couette Flow.” <i>Journal of Fluid Mechanics</i>, vol. 1010, A36, Cambridge University Press, 2025, doi:<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1017/jfm.2025.278\">10.1017/jfm.2025.278</a>.","ama":"Wang B, Ayats López R, Deguchi K, Meseguer A, Mellibovsky F.

Following a Feigenbaum cascade, the dynamics is found to be remarkably well approximated by a simple discrete map that admits rigorous proof of its chaotic nature. The chaotic set that arises for the map features densely distributed periodic points that are in one-to-one correspondence with unstable periodic orbits (UPOs) of the Navier–Stokes system. This supports the increasingly accepted view that UPOs may serve as the backbone of turbulence and, indeed, we demonstrate that it is possible to reconstruct every statistical property of chaotic fluid flow from UPOs.","lang":"eng"}],"isi":1,"year":"2025","date_updated":"2025-09-30T12:39:44Z","publication":"Journal of Fluid Mechanics","file":[{"content_type":"application/pdf","file_name":"2025_JourFluidMech_Wang_Ayats.pdf","date_created":"2025-05-28T09:00:52Z","access_level":"open_access","file_size":998754,"creator":"dernst","file_id":"19754","success":1,"checksum":"899df5797844a9e811dffeebe8c05c8e","relation":"main_file","date_updated":"2025-05-28T09:00:52Z"}],"title":"Mathematically established chaos and forecast of statistics with recurrent patterns in Taylor-Couette flow","project":[{"call_identifier":"H2020","grant_number":"101034413","_id":"fc2ed2f7-9c52-11eb-aca3-c01059dda49c","name":"IST-BRIDGE: International postdoctoral program"},{"grant_number":"ESP 1481224","_id":"942a0200-16d5-11f0-9cad-f48ab22dfd1c","name":"Pattern Formation Mechanisms in Planar Shear Flows"}],"publisher":"Cambridge University Press","type":"journal_article","doi":"10.1017/jfm.2025.151","publication_status":"published","department":[{"_id":"BjHo"}],"article_processing_charge":"Yes (in subscription journal)","date_created":"2025-05-25T22:16:52Z","acknowledgement":"This research is supported by the Australian Research Council Discovery Project DP230102188 and the Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades (Agencia Estatal de Investigación, project nos PID 2020-114043 GB-I00 (MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033) and PID 2023-150029NB-I00 (MCIN/AEI/10.13039/ 501100011033/FEDER, UE).
