For over 25 years it is known that the roll structure of electroconvection (EC) in the dielectric regime in planarly aligned nematic liquid crystals has, after a transition to defect chaos, the tendency to form chevron structures. We show, with the help of a coarse-grained model, that this effect can generally be expected for systems with spontaneously broken isotropy, that is lifted by a small...
متن کاملPattern Formation and Spatial Chaos in Spatially
We consider an array of scalar nonlinear dynamical systems _ u = f(u), arranged on the sites of a spatial lattice, for example on the integer lattice ZZ2 in the plane IR2. We impose a coupling between nearest neighbors, and also between next-nearest neighbors, in the form of discrete Laplacians with +and -shaped stencils. These couplings can be of any strength, and of either sign (positive or n...
متن کاملDefect-mediated Stability: an Eeective Hydrodynamic Theory of Spatiotemporal Chaos
Spatiotemporal chaos (STC) exhibited by the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky (KS) equation is investigated analytically and numerically. An eeective stochastic equation belonging to the KPZ universality class is constructed by incorporating the chaotic dynamics of the small KS system in a coarse-graining procedure. The bare parameters of the eeective theory are computed approximately. Stability of the syst...

متن کاملChaos/Complexity Theory and Education
Sciences exist to demonstrate the fundamental order underlying nature. Chaos/complexity theory is a novel and amazing field of scientific inquiry. Notions of our everyday experiences are somehow in connection to the laws of nature through chaos/complexity theory’s concerns with the relationships between simplicity and complexity, between orderliness and randomness (Retrieved from http://www.inc...
