Figure 3.
Steady state solutions when radial dynamics are fast compared to the phase dynamics. This is achieved by setting . In each simulation
. Other parameters are shown in table 1. (a–c) Phase sum
and (d–f) external rotor radii
are shown as functions of time for various values of ky. (g) The mean value of phase sum
and (h) external rotor radius
are computed from numerical solutions (green) and compared with analytical predictions of equation (4.1) (dashed) and equations (4.2), (4.3) (dotted). (Online version in colour.)
