Local and global bifurcations to large-scale oblique patterns in inclined layer convection

Zheng Zheng, Sajjad Azimi, Florian Reetz +1

In the inclined layer convection system, thermal convection in a Rayleigh--Bénard cell tilted against gravity, the flow is subject to competing buoyancy and shear forces. For varyi…

Natural convection in a vertical channel. Part 3. Bifurcations of many (additional) unstable periodic orbits and their dynamical relevance

Zheng Zheng, Laurette S. Tuckerman, Tobias M. Schneider

Vertical thermal convection system exhibits weak turbulence and spatio-temporally chaotic behaviour. In this system, we report seven equilibria and 26 periodic orbits, all new and…

Ghost states underlying spatial and temporal patterns: how non-existing invariant solutions control nonlinear dynamics

Zheng Zheng, Pierre Beck, Tian Yang +3

Close to a saddle-node bifurcation, when two invariant solutions collide and disappear, the behavior of a dynamical system can closely resemble that of a solution which is no longe…

Natural convection in a vertical channel. Part 1. Wavenumber interaction and Eckhaus instability in a narrow domain

Zheng Zheng, Laurette S. Tuckerman, Tobias M. Schneider

In a vertical channel driven by an imposed horizontal temperature gradient, numerical simulations have previously shown steady, time-periodic and chaotic dynamics. We explore the o…

Natural convection in a vertical channel. Part 2. Oblique solutions and global bifurcations in a spanwise-extended domain

Zheng Zheng, Laurette S. Tuckerman, Tobias M. Schneider

Vertical thermal convection is a non-equilibrium system in which both buoyancy and shear forces play a role in driving the convective flow. Beyond the onset of convection, the driv…
