Fixed point limit behavior of N-mode truncated Navier-Stokes equations as N increases (Q1072018)

The fixed point behavior of n-mode truncations of the Navier-Stokes equations on a two-dimensional torus is investigated as N increases. From \(N=44\) on the behavior does not undergo any qualitative change. Furthermore, the bifurcations occur at critical parameter values which clearly tend to stabilize as N approaches 100.
