Abstract

In this paper, a four-dimensional conservative system of Euler equations producing the periodic orbit is constructed and studied. The reason that a conservative system often produces periodic orbit has rarely been studied. By analyzing the Hamiltonian and Casimir functions, three invariants of the conservative system are found. The complete integrability is proved to be the mechanism that the system generates the periodic orbits. The mechanism route from periodic orbit to conservative chaos is found by breaking the conservation of Casimir energy and the integrability through which a chaotic Hamiltonian system is built. The observed chaos is not excited by saddle or center equilibria, so the system has hidden dynamics. It is found that the upgrade in the Hamiltonian energy level violates the order of dynamical behavior and transitions from a low or regular state to a high or an irregular state. From the energy bifurcation associated with different energy levels, rich coexisting orbits are discovered, i.e., the coexistence of chaotic orbits, quasi-periodic orbits, and chaotic quasi-periodic orbits. The coincidence between the two-dimensional diagram of maximum Lyapunov exponents and the bifurcation diagram of Hamiltonian energy is observed. Finally, field programmable gate array implementation, a challenging task for the chaotic Hamiltonian conservative system, is designed to be a Hamiltonian pseudo-random number generator.
