Numerical study of pattern forming processes in models of rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection
In this thesis we numerically study two unique pattern forming processes observed in Rayleigh-Bénard convection. Using variants of the Swift-Hohenberg equation, we study the Küppers-Lortz instability and a spiral chaos state in a large cylindrical cell. For the Küppers-Lortz instability, we show tha...
