Abstract
We investigated self-sustained oscillation in a collapsible channel, in which a part of one rigid wall is replaced by a thin elastic wall, and synchronization phenomena in the two channels connected in parallel. We performed a two-dimensional hydrodynamic simulation in a pair of collapsible channels which merged into a single channel downstream. The stable synchronization modes depended on the distance between the deformable region and the merging point; only an in-phase mode was stable for the large distance, in-phase and antiphase modes were bistable for the middle distance, and again only an in-phase mode was stable for the small distance. An antiphase mode became stable through the subcritical pitchfork bifurcation by decreasing the distance. Further decreasing the distance, the antiphase mode became unstable through the subcritical Neimark-Sacker bifurcation. We also clarified the distance dependences of the amplitude and frequency for each stable synchronization mode.
