Abstract
It is shown that the system of parametrically excited surface waves falls into the class of ‘‘critical flows’’ whose dynamics and transition to chaos can be understood from first-return maps derived in the vicinity of one saddle point in phase space. The onset of chaos is via ‘‘gluing bifurcations,’’ which are also common to Lorenz-like flows, but these are intermingled here with usual period-doubling bifurcations. Similar parametrically excited systems might show the full array of routes to chaos which appear in critical flows.Keywords
