Weakly nonlinear subcritical instability of visco-elastic Poiseuille flow
Bernard Meulenbroek, Cornelis Storm, Alexander N. Morozov +1
It is well known that the Poiseuille flow of a visco-elastic polymer fluid between plates or through a tube is linearly stable in the zero Reynolds number limit, although the stabi…

Evidence for Slow Velocity Relaxation in Front Propagation in Rayleigh-Bénard Convection
Julien Kockelkoren, Cornelis Storm, Wim van Saarloos
Recent theoretical work has shown that so-called pulled fronts propagating into an unstable state always converge very slowly to their asymptotic speed and shape. In the the light…

Sources, sinks and holes in a one-dimensional traveling wave convection experiment
Luc Pastur, Mark-Tiele Westra, Daniel Snouck +4
We study dynamical behavior of local structures, such as sources and holes, in traveling wave patterns in a very long (2 m) heated wire convection experiment. The {\em sources} und…
