Nature of Roll to Spiral-Defect-Chaos Transition
Xiao-jun Li, Hao-wen Xi, J. D. Gunton
We investigate the nature of the parallel-roll to spiral-defect-chaos (SDC) transition in Rayleigh-Benard convection, based on the generalized Swift-Hohenberg model. We carry out e…
Phenomenological Theory for Spatiotemporal Chaos in Rayleigh-Benard Convection
Xiao-jun Li, Hao-wen Xi, J. D. Gunton
We present a phenomenological theory for spatiotemporal chaos (STC) in Rayleigh-Benard convection, based on the generalized Swift-Hohenberg model. We apply a random phase approxima…
Direct Transition to Spatiotemporal Chaos in Low Prandtl Number Fluids
Hao-wen Xi, Xiao-jun Li, J. D. Gunton
We present the first large scale numerical simulation of three-dimensional Rayleigh-Bénard convection near onset, under free-free boundary conditions for a fluid of Prandtl number…
Dynamical Properties of Multi-Armed Global Spirals in Rayleigh-Benard Convection
Xiao-jun Li, Hao-wen Xi, J. D. Gunton
Explicit formulas for the rotation frequency and the long-wavenumber diffusion coefficients of global spirals with arms in Rayleigh-Benard convection are obtained. Global spira…
