Spiral defect chaos and the skew-varicose instability in generalizations of the Swift-Hohenberg equation

Mean flows are known to play an important role in the dynamics of the Spiral Defect Chaos state and in the existence of the skew-varicose instability in Rayleigh-Bernard Convection. SDC only happens in large domains, so computations involving the full three-dimensional PDEs for convection are very t...
