Abstract

The effect of external random forces on the static and dynamic behavior of the Lorenz model is investigated. Results of a numerical calculation in the conductive, convective, and turbulent regimes are reported. The properties of static and time-dependent correlation functions of the three degrees of freedom of the model are analyzed for varying strength of the external noise level and compared with the behavior of the unforced system.
