A comprehensive review of spatiotemporal pattern formation in systems driven away from
equilibrium is presented, with emphasis on comparisons between theory and quantitative …

Synergetics is an interdisciplinary field of research that studies the spontaneous, ie self-
organised, formation of structures in systems far from thermal equilibrium as well as in non …

We present a brief overview of the current understanding of temporal and spatio-temporal
chaos, both termed weak turbulence according to the context [1]. The process which allows …

We report an experimental study of subharmonic instabilities observed in a horizontal layer
of glass spheres under vertical vibrations. Above a critical value of the acceleration, the layer …

This paper describes phenomena which arise in a continuous system of coupled oscillators
subject to a strongly resonant forcing. We show that the temporal forcing induces a new type …

The stability of a viscous film flowing down a vertical fiber under the action of gravity is
analyzed both experimentally and theoretically. At large or small film thicknesses, the …

Hydrodynamical instabilities in open flows P. Huerre and M. Rossi; 3. Asymptotic techniques …

We investigate the influence of a horizontal plane Poiseuille shear flow transversal to the
convective roll chain of the Rayleigh-Bénard problem. Using a one-dimensional (1D) …

We consider the stability of the steady free-surface thin-film flows over topography examined
in detail by Kalliadasis et al.(2000). For flow over a step-down, their computations revealed …

We present a study of secondary instabilities of parametrically generated standing waves in
a horizontal layer of fluid submitted to vertical vibrations. The fluid is contained in a thin …
