Abstract

Spatially periodic large amplitude solutions of the von Karman model are obtained in the neighborhood of singularities. These singularities correspond to vortex clusters in the physical plane. The quasi-periodic and unbounded solutions found analytically confirm earlier numerical work and show qualitative agreement with experimental observations of large-scale phenomena of vortex trails. Separatrices or heteroclinic orbits were explicitly found for an integrable approximate equation, which indicate that the von Karman model itself supports chaotic solutions.
