▪ Abstract This review summarizes results for Rayleigh-Bénard convection that have been
obtained over the past decade or so. It concentrates on convection in compressed gases …

Pattern formation in hydrodynamic instabilities has been studied intensely over the last
decades [1, 2]. Although Rayleigh-Bénard convection (RBC) in simple fluids has been the …

Pattern formation is a ubiquitous phenomenon observed in nonlinear and out-of-equilibrium
systems. In equilibrium, quantum ferrofluids formed from ultracold atoms were recently …

Turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection displays a large-scale order in the form of rolls and
cells on lengths larger than the layer height once the fluctuations of temperature and velocity …

This invaluable book presents a concise but systematic account of the formation of spatial
flow structures in a horizontal fluid layer heated from below. Flows of this type, known as …

From the stripes of a zebra and the spots on a leopard's back to the ripples on a sandy
beach or desert dune, regular patterns arise everywhere in nature. The appearance and …

A century after Henri Bénard discovered cellular convective structures, thermal convection in
fluid layers still remains a central subject in nonlinear physics. Within this framework, surface …

Interfacial Phenomena and Convection is a self-contained monograph that examines a rich
variety of phenomena in which interfaces play a crucial role. From a unified perspective that …

In the absence of governing equations, dimensional analysis is a robust technique for
extracting insights and finding symmetries in physical systems. Given measurement …
