The droplet\u2019s trajectory is described by an integro-differential equation, which is simulated numerically in various parameter regimes. We produce a regime diagram that summarizes the dependence of the walker\u2019s behavior on the system parameters for a droplet of fixed size. At relatively low vibrational forcing, a number of periodic and quasiperiodic trajectories emerge. In the limit of large vibrational forcing, the walker\u2019s trajectory becomes chaotic, but the resulting trajectories can be decomposed into portions of unstable quasiperiodic states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"tw-text-wide has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">See paper:  <a href=\"http:\/\/thales.mit.edu\/bush\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Dettmers-2017.pdf\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"http:\/\/thales.mit.edu\/bush\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Dettmers-2017.pdf\">Kurianski, K.M., Oza, A.U. and Bush, J.W.M., <em>Physical Review Fluids<\/em> (2017)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":5053,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5051","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hydrodynamic-quantum-analogues","category-pilot-wave-hydrodynamics","entry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Walker motion in a spring force - John W.
