PATTERN FORMATION IN COMPLEX DISSIPATIV: Fluid Patterns, Liquid Crystals, Chemical Reactions, Kitakyushu, Japan, 18-20 September, 1991 - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

In this volume, the problems of pattern formation in physics, chemistry and other related fields in complex and nonlinear dissipative systems are studied. Main subjects discussed are formation mechanisms, properties, statistics, characterization and dynamics of periodic and nonperiodic patterns in the electrohydrodynamics in liquid crystals, Rayleigh-Benard convection, crystallization, viscous fingering and Belouzov-Zhabotinsky chemical reaction. Recent developments in topological and defect-mediated chaos, chaos in systems with large degrees of freedom and turbulence-turbulence transitions are also discussed.
