  A seven-mode truncation system of the Navier-Stokes equations for a two-dimensional incompressible fluid on a torus is considered. Its stationary solutions and stability are presented; the existence of the attractor and the global stability of the system are discussed. The whole process, which shows a chaos behavior approached through instability of invariant tori, is simulated numerically by computers with the changing of Reynolds number. Based on numerical simulation results of bifurcation diagram, Lyapunov exponent spectrum, Poincare section, power spectrum and return map of the system, some basic dynamical behaviors of the new chaos system are revealed.

Introduction</title><p>In recent years much attention has been devoted to the study of simple differential or difference equations, which although deterministic, exhibit a transition as some parameters go through certain values to a chaos behavior. The equations which are studied often arise in a natural way as simplified models in fluid dynamics and in ecology. The best known examples are perhaps the models of [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.51436-ref1">1</xref>] -[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.51436-ref3">3</xref>] . In these models a chaos behavior arises as a consequence of the appearance of an attractor of complicated structure which is called “strange attractor”. Trajectories in a neighborhood of the attractor appear to move in a completely erratic way. Phenomena of this kind are predicted under certain hypothesis, by the mathematical theory of turbulence of Ruelle and Takens [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.51436-ref4">4</xref>] . In the following we consider a model obtained by a suitable seven-mode truncation of the Navier-Stokes equations for a 2-dimensional incompressible fluid on a torus [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.51436-ref5">5</xref>] . The paper [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.51436-ref5">5</xref>] has been published in Proceedings of the IWCFTA 2012, but the published paper is too rough and several deficiencies in the study of the published paper can be found. Only local results of dynamic behavior are given, and some simulation results are wrong; the transition to chaos is confused. This paper gives more accurate simulation results, discusses the dynamic behavior of the system at the high values of the Reynolds number, and analyses the evolution of the dynamic behavior of the system. This paper is extension and modification of the published article [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.51436-ref5">5</xref>] and the content is more abundant. We argue on the basis of numerical simulation results analysis where in a certain range of the Reynolds number our system behaves in a way similar to that predicted by Ruelle and Takens. Dynamical behaviors of this new chaotic system, including some basic dynamical properties, bifurcations and routes to chaos, etc., have been investigated both theoretically and numerically by changing Reynolds number. Our purpose is to study how the phenomena of the model change when the number of modes in the truncation is slightly increased. The existence of the attractor and the global stability of the equations have been firmly verified and these theories can be used in other similar systems. Furthermore, some basic dynamical behaviors of the new chaos system, such as bifurcation diagram, Lyapunov exponent spectrum, Poincare section, power spectrum and return map, are presented.</p></sec><sec id="s2"><title>2.

The further three stories show three interesting examples of “life” of orbit (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig9">Figure 9</xref>, <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1</xref>4 and <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1</xref>8), each one with its own characteristics. A remark feature concerns a strong phenomenon of hysteresis (i.e, coexistence of stable attractors) characterizing the model (Figures 9-19); three different stable orbits are present in some intervals, and hysteresis takes place between closed orbits and tori in the intervals.</p><p>For all the values of the Reynolds number r larger than 158.631, when no stable periodic orbits or tori are present any more, the model exhibits a turbulent behavior. In fact any randomly chosen point describes trajectories which appear to be completely random and sensitively dependent on initial conditions. Since all the numerical investigations carried up to <inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/1-2320156x137.png" xlink:type="simple"/></inline-formula> keep showing a stochastic behavior, we think that turbulence might also persist for <inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/1-2320156x137.png" xlink:type="simple"/></inline-formula><inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/1-2320156x138.png" xlink:type="simple"/></inline-formula> tending to infinity and that no stable attracting periodic orbit exists at the high values of the Reynolds number. Our seven-mode system does not reproduce the qualitative features of the five-mode model from which it has been obtained as an extension. This result makes more striking what appears already in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.51436-ref4">4</xref>] , where a 14-mode generalization of the three-mode Lorenz system is presented: new modes can change quite completely the phenomenology of a model.</p></sec><sec id="s7"><title>Acknowledgements</title><p>We thank the editor and the referee for their comments.
