Extract

The Lorenz attractor is a strange attractor which has been proposed as an explicit model for turbulence ((4), compare (5)). First studied by E. N. Lorenz as a truncation of the Navier-Stokes equations (2), it has since attracted the attention of mathematicians because of its particularly interesting dynamical properties.
