We study the evolution of a melting front between the solid and liquid phases of a pure incompressible material where fluid motions are driven by unstable temperature gradients. In a plane layer geometry, this can be seen as classical…

We present a mechanism for the emergence of strange attractors (observable chaos) in a two-parameter periodically-perturbed family of differential equations on the plane. The two parameters are independent and act on different ways in the…
We explore a two-dimensional dynamical system modeling transition in shear flows to try to understand the nature of an 'edge' state. The latter is an invariant set in phase space separating the basin of attraction B of the laminar state…
Quasi-static Rayleigh-B\'enard convection with an imposed horizontal magnetic field is investigated numerically for Chandrasekhar numbers up to $Q=10^6$ with stress free boundary conditions. Both $Q$ and the Rayleigh number ($Ra$) are…
Triply degenerate fixed points appear in global bifurcations -- homoclinic and heteroclinic tangencies. In order to get Lorenz-like attractors, the dynamics of the first return map along the homoclinic or heteroclinic cycle should be…
For two-dimensional Rayleigh-B\'{e}nard convection, classes of unstable, steady solutions were previously computed using numerical continuation (Waleffe, 2015; Sondak, 2015). The `primary' steady solution bifurcates from the conduction…
We examine the behavior of a one-dimensional superconducting wire exposed to an applied electric current. We use the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau model to describe the system and retain temperature and applied current as parameters.…

We consider stability of steady convective flows in a horizontal layer with stress-free boundaries, heated below and rotating about the vertical axis, in the Boussinesq approximation (the Rayleigh-Benard convection). The flows under…
