4 Conclusion
During the search
of a subject for this project, I realized that the hydrodynamic instabilities
were numerous. Indeed, there are applications in lot of fields. Some of
these theories are applied to medecine, behaviours of populations, highway
traffic, fluid dynamics, etc. I have chosen to study a little part
of the fractals developped by Benoit Mandelbrot and that was a good way
for me to realize that all the theories that seem to be only mathematical,
will have one day an physical application.
Although the
main goal of this project was to compute a hydrodynamic instability, the
most interesting aspect of it was for me the whole philosophy that some
people like Gleick, developped. With this work and all the stuffs that
I have read about it, I think to have better understood the famous "Butterfly
effect".
