Spiral Defect Chaos in Large Aspect Ratio Rayleigh-Benard Convection
arXiv:patt-sol/9305005 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.71.2026
Abstract
We report experiments on convection patterns in a cylindrical cell with a large aspect ratio. The fluid had a Prandtl number of approximately 1. We observed a chaotic pattern consisting of many rotating spirals and other defects in the parameter range where theory predicts that steady straight rolls should be stable. The correlation length of the pattern decreased rapidly with increasing control parameter so that the size of a correlated area became much smaller than the area of the cell. This suggests that the chaotic behavior is intrinsic to large aspect ratio geometries.
