Extensive chaos in Rayleigh-Bénard convection.
Using large-scale numerical calculations we explore spatiotemporal chaos in Rayleigh-Bénard convection for experimentally relevant conditions. We calculate the spectrum of Lyapunov exponents and the Lyapunov dimension describing the chaotic dynamics of the convective fluid layer at constant thermal driving over a range of finite system sizes. Our results reveal that the dynamics of fluid convec...
متن کاملMean flow and spiral defect chaos in Rayleigh-Bénard convection.
We describe a numerical procedure to construct a modified velocity field that does not have any mean flow. Using this procedure, we present two results. First, we show that, in the absence of the mean flow, spiral defect chaos collapses to a stationary pattern comprising textures of stripes with angular bends. The quenched patterns are characterized by mean wave numbers that approach those uniq...
متن کاملSpiral defect chaos in a model of Rayleigh-Bénard convection.
A numerical solution of a generalized Swift-Hohenberg equation in two dimensions reveals the existence of a spatio-temporal chaotic state comprised of a large number of rotating spirals. This state is observed for a reduced Rayleigh number ǫ = 0.25. The power spectrum of the state is isotropic, and the spatial correlation function decays exponentially, with an estimated decay length ξ ≈ 2.5λc, ...
متن کاملDefect dynamics for spiral chaos in Rayleigh-Bénard convection.
A theory of the novel spiral chaos state recently observed in Rayleigh-Bénard convection is proposed in terms of the importance of invasive defects i.e defects that through their intrinsic dynamics expand to take over the system. The motion of the spiral defects is shown to be dominated by wave vector frustration, rather than a rotational motion driven by a vertical vorticity field. This leads ...
متن کاملSpiral defect chaos in large aspect ratio Rayleigh-Bénard convection.
We report experiments on convection patterns in a cylindrical cell with a large aspect ratio. The uid had a Prandtl number 1. We observed a chaotic pattern consisting of many rotating spirals and other defects in the parameter range where theory predicts that steady straight rolls should be stable. The correlation length of the pattern decreased rapidly with increasing control parameter so that...
