Abstract
Chaotic transitions of nonlinear Alfvén waves via boundary and interior crises are studied. Alfvén crises are characterized using the unstable periodic orbits and their stable and unstable manifolds. In a period-3 periodic window of the bifurcation diagram, we identify a period-9 unstable periodic orbit that is responsible for both boundary and interior crises of two chaotic attractors. We demonstrate that these Alfvén crises arise from a homoclinic tangency.
