Pattern Formation and Spatio-Temporal Chaos
Pattern Dynamics - No Rotation
Below is the Busse balloon for Prandtl Number ~ 1 and data from Hu et
al and Morris et al for the mean pattern wavenumber k =2p/l
where l is the pattern wavelength versus the
reduced bifurcation parameter e = DT/DTc-1.
Selecting the red dots will show animated data sequences at that parameter
value. Details of the data sequences are given below.
Rotating Convection Dynamics
Rotation about a vertical axis causes dramatic changes in the dynamics
of the patterns. Below the phase diagram of reduced bifurcation parameter
e(W) versus W is
shown with circle buttons indicating parameter values for which there
is a data animation.
