(last updated on 2024/04/23)Abstract:
Numerical simulations of two-dimensional model equations show that a coupling between amplitude and vertical-vorticity fields allows chaotic flows near the onset of Rayleigh-Bénard convection in large-aspect-ratio domains. In cylindrical cells, mean flows arising from this coupling lead to a chaotic nucleation of dislocations that is remarkably similar to recent observations in convection experiments. © 1988 The American Physical Society.
