Using coupled Ginzburg-Landau equations, the dynamics of hexagonal patterns with broken chiral symmetry are investigated, as they appear in rotating non-Boussinesq or surface-tension-driven convection. We find that close to the secondary…
We review recent computational results for hexagon patterns in non-Boussinesq convection. For sufficiently strong dependence of the fluid parameters on the temperature we find reentrance of steady hexagons, i.e. while near onset the hexagon…
We study hexagon patterns in non-Boussinesq convection of a thin rotating layer of water. For realistic parameters and boundary conditions we identify various linear instabilities of the pattern. We focus on the dynamics arising from an…
Breaking the chiral symmetry, rotation induces a secondary Hopf bifurcation in weakly nonlinear hexagon patterns which gives rise to oscillating hexagons. We study the stability of the oscillating hexagons using three coupled…
The dynamics of hexagon patterns in rotating systems are investigated within the framework of modified Swift-Hohenberg equations that can be considered as simple models for rotating convection with broken up-down symmetry, e.g.…
We study the stability and dynamics of non-Boussinesq convection in pure gases (CO$_2$ and SF$_6$) with Prandtl numbers near $Pr\simeq 1$ and in a H$_2$-Xe mixture with $Pr=0.17$. Focusing on the strongly nonlinear regime we employ Galerkin…
While non-Boussinesq hexagonal convection patterns are well known to be stable close to threshold (i.e. for Rayleigh numbers $R \approx R_c$), it has often been assumed that they are always unstable to rolls already for slightly higher…
Three coupled Ginzburg-Landau equations for hexagonal patterns with broken chiral symmetry are investigated. They are relevant for the dynamics close to onset of rotating non-Boussinesq or surface-tension-driven convection. Steady and…
We furnish necessary and sufficient conditions for the occurrence of a Hopf bifurcation in a particularly significant fluid-structure problem, where a Navier-Stokes liquid interacts with a rigid body that is subject to an undamped elastic…
We show that transition to longitudinal instability of strong detonation solutions of reactive compressible Navier--Stokes equations is generically associated with Hopf bifurcation to nearby time-periodic "galloping", or "pulsating",…
We consider by a combination of analytical and numerical techniques some basic questions regarding the relations between inviscid and viscous stability and existence of a convex entropy. Specifically, for a system possessing a convex…
A weakly nonlinear study is numerically conducted to determine the behaviour near the onset of convection in rotating spherical shells. The mathematical and numerical procedure is described in generality, with the results presented for an…
We introduce a numerical technique for controlling the location and stability properties of Hopf bifurcations in dynamical systems. The algorithm consists of solving an optimization problem constrained by an extended system of nonlinear…
Vertical thermal convection system exhibits weak turbulence and spatio-temporally chaotic behaviour. In this system, we report seven equilibria and 26 periodic orbits, all new and linearly unstable. These orbits, together with four…
Weakly nonlinear hexagon convection patterns coupled to mean flow are investigated within the framework of coupled Ginzburg-Landau equations. The equations are in particular relevant for non-Boussinesq Rayleigh-B\'enard convection at low…
In this dissertation two-dimensional buoyancy-driven flows are investigated. While usually the Navier-Stokes equations are equipped with no-slip boundary conditions here we focus on the Navier-slip conditions that, depending on the system…
The transition route and bifurcations of the buoyant flow developing on a heated circular horizontal surface are elaborated using direct numerical simulations and direct stability analysis. A series of bifurcations, as a function of…
We investigate the origin of various convective patterns using bifurcation diagrams that are constructed using direct numerical simulations. We perform two-dimensional pseudospectral simulations for a Prandtl number 6.8 fluid that is…
We study the weakly nonlinear saturation of the flutter instability of a planar Cosserat rod in a viscous fluid driven by a terminal follower force. This instability, established in our preceding work as a Hopf bifurcation of a…
Hydrodynamic equations for a binary mixture of inelastic Maxwell models described by the Boltzmann equation are derived. The Navier-Stokes transport coefficients are {\em exactly} obtained by solving the Boltzmann equation from the…
