Abstract:In this paper, a nonlinear dynamics analysis of simulated data was considered to study the time evolution of an electromagnetically levitated (ELM) flexible droplet. The flexible droplet is modelled as a system with lumped masses, elastic springs, and rigid links. The behavior of the levitated droplet was investigated. Quantities characterizing time series data such as attractor dimension or largest Lyapunov exponent were computed. Calculations were performed for droplets of aluminum and copper. Thus, its chaotic behavior was analyzed.
