Patterns in nonlinear dissipative systems

Spanning physics, chemistry, and related fields, this volume examines how periodic and nonperiodic patterns form and evolve in complex, nonlinear dissipative systems. Its topics range from liquid-crystal electrohydrodynamics, Rayleigh–Bénard convection, crystallization, and viscous fingering to the Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction. The book also addresses ways of characterizing patterns and their statistics, alongside discussions of defect-mediated chaos, systems with many degrees of freedom, and transitions between forms of turbulence. The breadth of examples connects pattern formation to several distinct physical and chemical processes.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Researchers and graduate-level readers studying nonlinear physics or pattern formation
  • Readers interested in links between physical and chemical systems
  • Those seeking a broad survey of pattern dynamics, chaos, and turbulence

Book overview

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.
