Bifurcation Diagram of One Generalized Integrable Model of Vortex Dynamics

Abstract

This article is devoted to the results of phase topology research on a generalized mathematical model, which covers such two problems as the dynamics of two point vortices enclosed in a harmonic trap in a Bose – Einstein condensate and the dynamics of two point vortices bounded by a circular region in an ideal fluid. New bifurcation diagrams are obtained and three-into-one and four-into-one tori bifurcations are observed for some values of the physical parameters of the model. The presence of such bifurcations in the integrable model of vortex dynamics with positive intensities indicates a complex transition and a connection between bifurcation diagrams in both limiting cases. In this paper, we analytically derive equations that define the parametric family of bifurcation diagrams of the generalized model, including bifurcation diagrams of the specified limiting cases. The dynamics of the bifurcation diagram in a general case is shown using its implicit parameterization. A stable bifurcation diagram, related to the problem of dynamics of two vortices bounded by a circular region in an ideal fluid, is observed for particular parameters’ values.
