摘要：

The. dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates in a double-well magnetic trap is studied using the Gross-Pitaevskii equation (GPE) and a two-mode approximation. The self-trapping instability occurs when a sufficiently high potential barrier is formed in the centre of the trap. Close to the instability threshold, the GPE is reduced to a simple amplitude equation. In the case where weakly dissipative effects are taken into account, the condensate exhibits aperiodic oscillations which can be described by the Lorenz thermal convection model.
