Abstract: The formation and disappearance of spiral arms are studied by focusing on jammed Keplerian gas in a coupled map lattice (CML) with a minimal set of procedures for simulating diverse patterns in astronomical objects. The CML shows that a spiral arm is a type of traffic jam, and its motion is governed by both a gas inflow into and outflow from the jam. In particular, we present a new approach to simply and directly evaluating the disappearance of spiral arms, called "light-in and heavy-out". It is based on the gas flow rate difference between the light inflow and heavy outflow leading to the disappearance of traffic jams. Furthermore, we propose an approximate formula for the remaining lifetime of spiral arms, which is immediately derived from the "light-in and heavy-out" approach without calculating their pattern speeds as in conventional differential rotation. The proposed formula is successfully applied to the CML simulations.
