contents A reduced mathematical model for the flow in an open cavity is presented. The reduction is based on the center manifold theory applied to a perturbation of the original system which allows for a codimension two bifurcation point. The model exhibits many of the key characteristics observed in the flow dynamics including unstable quasi-periodic edge states as well as switching of limit cycles with parameter variations. An explanation for the exchange of stabilities of the limit-cycles is presented based on the cross-coupling terms of the two amplitude equations.
