Attractive Interaction Between Pulses in a Model for Binary-Mixture Convection

patt-sol 2009-10-28 v1 Pattern Formation and Solitons

Abstract

Recent experiments on convection in binary mixtures have shown that the interaction between localized waves (pulses) can be repulsive as well as {\it attractive} and depends strongly on the relative {\it orientation} of the pulses. It is demonstrated that the concentration mode, which is characteristic of the extended Ginzburg-Landau equations introduced recently, allows a natural understanding of that result. Within the standard complex Ginzburg-Landau equation this would not be possible.
