We report experiments on convection driven by a radial electrical force in suspended annular smectic A liquid crystal films. In the absence of an externally imposed azimuthal shear, a stationary one-dimensional (1D) pattern consisting of…
This work studies two-dimensional fixed-flux Rayleigh-B\'enard convection with periodic boundary conditions in both horizontal and vertical directions and analyzes its dynamics using numerical continuation, secondary instability analysis…
We study the Rayleigh-B{\'e}nard convection in a 2-D rectangular domain with no-slip boundary conditions for the velocity. The main mathematical challenge is due to the no-slip boundary conditions, since the separation of variables for the…
The main objective of this article is to study the three-dimensional Rayleigh-Benard convection in a rectangular domain from a pattern formation perspective. It is well known that as the Rayleigh number crosses a critical threshold, the…
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.…
This paper considers the extreme type-II Ginzburg-Landau equations that model vortex patterns in superconductors. The nonlinear PDEs are solved using Newton's method, and properties of the Jacobian operator are highlighted. Specifically, it…
We rigorously derive from first principles the generic Landau amplitude equation that describes the primary bifurcation in electrically driven convection. Our model accurately represents the experimental system: a weakly conducting,…
The parameter dependence of the various attractive solutions of the three variable nonlinear Lorenz model equations for thermal convection in Rayleigh-B\'enard flow is studied. Its bifurcation structure has commonly been investigated as a…
In the inclined layer convection system, thermal convection in a Rayleigh--B\'enard cell tilted against gravity, the flow is subject to competing buoyancy and shear forces. For varying inclination angle ($\gamma$) and Rayleigh number…
In nontwist systems, primary shearless curves act as barriers to chaotic transport. Surprisingly, the onset of secondary shearless curves has been reported in a few twist systems. Meanwhile, we found that, in twist systems, the onset of…
We perform a bifurcation analysis of the steady states of Rayleigh--B\'enard convection with no-slip boundary conditions in two dimensions using a numerical method called deflated continuation. By combining this method with an…
The main objective of this article is part of a research program to link the dynamics of fluid flows with the structure and its transitions in the physical spaces. As a prototype of problem and to demonstrate the main ideas, we study the…
A large number of flows with distinctive patterns have been observed in experiments and simulations of Rayleigh-Benard convection in a water-filled cylinder whose radius is twice the height. We have adapted a time-dependent pseudospectral…
Bifurcation theory and continuation methods are well-established tools for the analysis of nonlinear mechanical systems subject to periodic forcing. We illustrate the added value and the complementary information provided by singularity…
We consider two-parameter bifurcation of equilibrium states of an elastic rod on a deformable foundation. Our main theorem shows that bifurcation occurs if and only if the linearization of our problem has nontrivial solutions. In fact our…
We consider the symmetry-breaking steady state bifurcation of a spatially-uniform equilibrium solution of E(2)-equivariant PDEs. We restrict the space of solutions to those that are doubly-periodic with respect to a square or hexagonal…
A phenomenological theory is proposed to analyze the asymptotic dynamics of perturbed inviscid Kolmogorov shear flows in two dimensions. The phase diagram provided by the theory is in qualitative agreement with numerical observations, which…
This paper investigates the global structures of periodic orbits that appear in Rayleigh-B\'enard convection, which is modeled by a two-dimensional perturbed Hamiltonian model, by focusing upon resonance, symmetry and bifurcation of the…
A study of secondary instabilities in ac-driven electroconvection of a planarly aligned nematic liquid crystal is presented. At low frequencies one has a transition from normal rolls to a zig-zag pattern and at high frequencies a direct…
We use nonlinear signal processing techniques, based on artificial neural networks, to construct an empirical mapping from experimental Rayleigh-Benard convection data in the quasiperiodic regime. The data, in the form of a one-parameter…
