Annular electroconvection with shear
We report experiments on convection driven by a radial electrical force in suspended annular smectic A liquid crystal films. In the absence of an externally imposed azimuthal shear, a stationary one-dimensional (1D) pattern consisting of symmetric vortex pairs is formed via a supercritical transition at the onset of convection. Shearing reduces the symmetries of the base state and produces a tr...

Abstract We report experiments on convection driven by a radial electrical force in suspended annular smectic A liquid crystal lms. In the absence of an externally imposed azimuthal shear, a stationary one-dimensional (1D) pattern consisting of symmetric vortex pairs is formed via a supercritical transition at the onset of convection. Shearing reduces the symmetries of the base state and produc...
متن کاملCodimension-two points in annular electroconvection as a function of aspect ratio.
We rigorously derive from first principles the generic Landau amplitude equation that describes the primary bifurcation in electrically driven convection. Our model accurately represents the experimental system: a weakly conducting, submicron thick liquid crystal film suspended between concentric circular electrodes and driven by an applied voltage between its inner and outer edges. We explicit...
متن کاملDomain coarsening in electroconvection.
We report on experimental measurements of the growth of regular domains evolving from an irregular pattern in electroconvection. The late-time growth of the domains is consistent with the size of the domains scaling as t(n). We use two isotropic measurements of the domain size: the structure factor and the domain wall length. Measurements using the structure factor are consistent with t(1/5) gr...
متن کاملA discrete stochastic model for ripple dynamics induced by water shear flow in an annular cell
The interaction between a fluid and a granular material plays a crucial role in a large class of phenomena such as river-bed morphology and river transport of sediments, aeolian sand dunes and ripples dynamics. Standard models involve deterministic continuum equations or, alternatively, Lattice Boltzmann and Lattice Gas Cellular Automata. We here introduce a toy-model to address the issue of ri...
