▪ Abstract This review summarizes results for Rayleigh-Bénard convection that have been
obtained over the past decade or so. It concentrates on convection in compressed gases …

An introductory review of pattern formation in extended dissipative systems is presented.
Examples from many areas of physics are introduced, and the mathematical analysis of the …

A century after Henri Bénard discovered cellular convective structures, thermal convection in
fluid layers still remains a central subject in nonlinear physics. Within this framework, surface …

Interfacial Phenomena and Convection is a self-contained monograph that examines a rich
variety of phenomena in which interfaces play a crucial role. From a unified perspective that …

We present a benchmark study of autonomous, chemical agents exhibiting associative
learning of an environmental feature. Associative learning systems have been widely …

We report experimental evidence of novel kinds of patterns—zigzag destabilized spirals and
targets. They have been found in a planar dc driven semiconductor–gas discharge system …

We report the first observations of superlattices in thermal convection. The superlattices are
selected by a four-mode resonance mechanism that is qualitatively different from the three …

Motivated by recent experiments, we study a rich variation of the familiar Rayleigh–Bénard
convection (RBC), where the temperature at the lower boundary varies sinusoidally about a …

For Rayleigh-Bénard convection of a fluid with Prandtl number σ= 1.4, we report
experimental and theoretical results on a pattern selection mechanism for cell-filling, giant …

The Küppers-Lortz (KL) instability in Rayleigh-Bénard convection rotated about a vertical
axis was studied experimentally using optical-shadowgraph imaging in the rotating frame for …
