Abstract

We report numerical simulations of one-dimensional cellular solutions of the stabilized Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation. This equation offers a range of generic behavior in pattern-forming instabilities of moving interfaces, such as a host of secondary instabilities or transition toward disorder. We compare some of these collective behaviors to those observed in experiments. In particular, destabilization scenarios of bifurcated states are studied in a spatially semi-extended situation, which is common in realistic patterns, but has been barely explored so far.
