A strong coupling between convection and pulsations is known to play a major role in the disappearance of unstable modes close to the red edge of the classical Cepheid instability strip. As mean-field models of time-dependent convection…

We have measured pulsed microwave transmission through quasi-1D samples with lengths up to three localization lengths. For times approaching four times the diffusion time \tau_D, transmission is diffusive in accord with the self-consistent…

The interplay between 1D traveling pulses with oscillatory tails (TPO) and heterogeneities of bump type is studied for a generalized three-component FitzHugh-Nagumo equation. First, we present that stationary pulses with oscillatory tails…

The study and characterization of the diversity of spatiotemporal patterns generated when a rectangular layer of fluid is locally heated beneath its free surface is presented. We focus on the instability of a stationary cellular pattern of…

In cold Cepheids close to the red edge of the classical instability strip, a strong coupling between the stellar pulsations and the surface convective motions occurs. This coupling is by now poorly described by 1-D models of convection, the…

Spatiotemporal localized and extended structures associated with a subcritical finite wavenumber Hopf bifurcation are studied in the Purwins model (a three-variable FitzHugh-Nagumo version). Steady and time-dependent numerical continuation…

Two models of driven optical cavities, based on two-dimensional Ginzburg-Landau equations, are introduced. The models include loss, the Kerr nonlinearity, diffraction in one transverse direction, and a combination of diffusion and…

Propagation of solitary waves in the presence of autocatalysis, diffusion, and symmetry breaking (differential) advection, is being studied. The focus is on drifting (propagating with advection) pulses that form via a convective instability…

Nonlinear, spatially localized structures of traveling convection rolls are investigated in quantitative detail as a function of Rayleigh number for two different Soret coupling strengths (separation ratios) with Lewis and Prandtl numbers…

Convection in rotating spherical geometries is an important physical process in planetary and stellar systems. Using continuation methods at low Prandtl number, we find both strong equatorially asymmetric and symmetric polar nonlinear…

A system consisting of the cubic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation which is linearly coupled to an additional linear dissipative equation, is considered. The model was introduced earlier in the context of dual-core nonlinear optical fibers…

Thermal convection in an inclined layer between two parallel walls kept at different fixed temperatures is studied for fixed Prandtl number Pr=1.07. Depending on the angle of inclination and the imposed temperature difference, the flow…

We first report that, for planar nematic MBBA, the electroconvection threshold voltage has a nonmonotonic temperature dependence, with a well-defined minimum, and a slope of about 0.12 V/degree near room temperature. Motivated by this…

We investigate the convective stability of a thin, infinite fluid layer with a rectangular cross-section, subject to imposed heat fluxes at the top and bottom and fixed temperature along the vertical sides. The instability threshold depends…

We report the discovery of highly localized structures traveling over a one-dimensional pattern of Faraday waves in a vertically-vibrated fluid layer confined in a thin annular cell. These propagating structures emerge spontaneously beyond…

We investigate the effect of dispersion on convection in porous media by performing direct numerical simulations (DNS) in a two-dimensional Rayleigh-Darcy domain. Scaling analysis of the governing equations shows that the dynamics of this…

In this paper, we report on the generation and propagation of traveling pulses in a homogeneous network of diffusively coupled, excitable, slow-fast dynamical neurons. The spatially extended system is modelled using the nearest neighbor…

We describe a 2.5D MHD simulation describing the evolution of cool jets triggered by initial vertical velocity perturbations in the solar chromosphere. We implement random velocity pulses of amplitude 20-50 km/s between 1 Mm and 1.5 Mm,…

We investigate analytically the distribution tails of the area A and perimeter L of a convex hull for different types of planar random walks. For N noninteracting Brownian motions of duration T we find that the large-L and A tails behave as…

Context: we study the convection-pulsation coupling that occurs in cold Cepheids close to the red edge of the classical instability strip. In these stars, the surface convective zone is supposed to stabilise the radial oscillations excited…
